3 curated Hiking spots in Botswana, each with its own note and source.
Zentral · Best time: Apr–Sep · All levels
The Tswapong Hills rise almost 400 m above the plain; Goo-Moremi Gorge holds three permanent waterfalls, the uppermost dropping about 10 m into a vegetated lagoon. Over 350 bird species live here, including the endangered Cape vulture. As a courtesy, ask the local headman for permission — a National Museum guide is based in Moremi village.

Südosten · Best time: Apr–Sep · Beginner
Clearly defined routes lead up and down Gaborone's home hill; Botswana Tourism puts the climb at about one hour, ending with a view over Gaborone Dam. Wildlife still lives on the slopes, most visibly troops of baboons.

Nordwesten · Best time: May–Oct · Beginner
Three named paths — Rhino, Lion and Cliff Trail — open up hills holding roughly 4,000 rock paintings, mostly red finger paintings and geometrics. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002; guides from the surrounding villages can be arranged on site, and there is a museum plus campsites.
