iam Ugandan Living in the USA , I have been in Botswana and iam well traveled, globally But its an African country I compare to Canada. Very calm, respects their culture with esteem, the economy is doing good, less populated, less congested, vibrant social and environmental atmosphere.implying have enough resources for its people, it’s wildlife and most of all vibrant and happy people. I sincerely would like to visit again. I love Uganda 🇺🇬, Botswana 🇧🇼. I Love Africa and its people.
@@revothomas9343 the people of Botswana as a whole are poor for now but are way better off then they were like 60 years ago and they are gonna get better overtime
This is a country of peace. The best in Africa. I have not seen adults fighting in Botswana in my past 20yrs of residing here and in my yearly to months visites for another 20yrs prior to my residence. From a stranger you expect hospitality and humanity something that has died away in other African countries. Leaders serve the people. Its amazing
I'am Cameroonian living in Paris and i've been in Botswana last year, Gaborone, Maun, Kasane, Francistown. It was gorgeous, i loved it. And i went to Zambia, Zimbabwe too ❤❤ Your video make me dream again. I love this part of Africa. Thanks !
Wish you had a more informed guide. Actually bumped into you a lot during the summit. Tayo definitely got a different experience. I can go a whole year without going to main mall type stuff
I love the spread out city feel. I am excited to visit. And it looks so clean! Thanks for showing the city. Also, whats the breakdown? Are there lots of "others" there like in SA? Or is everything run by melanin?
Unfortunately, I doubt you'll find any place in Africa where 'others' aren't an integral part of the economic/society on some level. Whether they are Chinese, Arab, Indian or European. If you are asking about European descent people, I think they are around 6% but don't quote me.
@JayFocused-I made it to Gaborone and went to the Daily Grind. I had the waffle and chicken which was good especially because of the corn inside the batter. I saw that same Mickey Mouse, Santa Claus (white jesus) character as I was walking to the main mall, lol.
Great vlog! Thanks for talking about it being a car-dependent city. I used to live in Henderson,NV (Vegas suburb), and it looks like that. Did you have a hard time getting Uber or any ride sharing service? I’m looking for a place to retire on the continent, and would prefer a walkable community. Also , you mentioned ants; did you see any spiders in your place as well?
I also lived in the Las Vegas area. They don't have uber but a local solution. I wouldn't advise people to spend more than 2 days there without renting a vehicle. I spotted 0 spiders. Kindly subscribe to support the channel
Gaborone uber is called InDrive with more than 10 years in existence ; easy to install in your phone and you can pay with cash to the driver. For walkable communities, try to rent near a shopping mall but always carry your hat or umbrella and a bottle of cold water ( one liter) .
@victorlionelnazaire685 I used InDrive, it works...ok. It becomes difficult to find drivers at night. I recommend visitors to rent a car. I stayed near a shopping mall, still not walkable. It is a car-centric city.
Once again tight work, I was pleasantly surprised by Gaborone developing infrastructure and also the strength of there currency “Pula” I think is it name it was 13 to 1 USD when I visited; I wanted to visit the diamond mines and got a big NO WAY from the local tour guides,the Botswana national museum was under renovation when I was there, I did view there interior courtyard with the mud huts for the baños. Continued success ✌️
@Jay Focused- I know this video was 7 months ago but thank you for this video. I just came across your channel about Botswana. I am from the states and left 4 years ago and relocated to Ghana.

@@JayFocused -lol, you are absolutely right, wherever there is chicken and waffles, you will find us. Thank you for this information and continue to do the good work you do.
While at this mall you can go behind it and you'll see wild baboons. I have been going there while im visiting and feed them. They are mellow ❤ and appreciate the snacks. The streets seem to always be empty probably because of the low population and they don't market the country for tourism.
Gaborone has a nice appeal. It's growing in its infrastructure and hopefully that will bring in tourism. I prefer a busier lifestyle and a bigger population but Gaborone is perfect for people who love a slower, quieter pace.
He is really putting out WORK : we are talking about MORE than 30 degrees Celsius in a scorching heat . Yes, here in Botswana even the poor take the minibus when they cannot afford a taxi. Almost everybody wears a hat or an umbrella !
@@Accuface2000 yes he meant in terms of culture & people Botswana is similar to SA , but Namibia in terms of culture & people it really resembles the western cape of South Africa , But in terms of development Namibia is similar to SA & not Botswana , there’s no developed towns nor city in Botswana as compared to Namibia
Jay can you visit Equatorial guinea, Angola ,Gabon for us? those are rare african countries BA dont visit. All 3 speak portuegese/spanish and their native african language. Also try to visit Chad.
That's a tall order. You want me to visit 4 countries for you? Flights and accommodations aren't cheap, especially to countries that don't have many flights and tourists.If you send me about 3,000 USD on cash app I'll do it.
*Gaborone. (G- like the "Ch" in Chutzpah) You actually have a natural Setswana tone, you read many names almost correctly - a month in Botswana/South Africa with Batswana and you would be fluent.
Hahaha...I try to. I've visited gyms in most African countries. Uganda has the most expensive gyms by far in Kampala. About 130 usd a month on average. Most other African countries you can jump in and get a 1 month pass from 30-65 usd. Sometimes in Southern Africa they even have pools, the Virgin chain always does.
Hey brother if I may ask, why do you guys always pronounce Botswana as Batswana, does the letter O and A somehow look the same to you or there's something we don't understand there?
I enjoy the videos explaining your thoughts about the countries you travel too. It would be great if you made another video with your opinions and perspective on Botswana just like you did with Namibia. 🙂
@pushingp6945 I get affected by life circumstances just like anyone else, so I sometimes have to make last minute plans or alter plans when the unexpected occurs. A lot of things happen offcamera. Sometimes I'll do 20 videos on a place but it doesn't mean that I necessarily enjoy that place more than places I only do 1 or 2 videos.
Love Botswana 🇧🇼, Visited Botswana last April coming off a 3 month tour of Africa. It was my last stop before South Africa. I love Botswana, the Vibe, the People, the love I felt and the good times peopled showed me. The Nightlife is crazy and the Botswana Youth are Crazy. Believe it or not my one bad experience in Africa was in Botswana, I was at the casino and was learning how to play blackjack on the table and this guy smacks my hand and places his chips in my area. And I instantly saw red and spazzed out. I felt so bad afterwards because the people are so cool and chill. I’m sorry but you don’t smack another man’s hands in any situation.
I Don't know why Botswana people are offended when someone who is not from here does not pronounce Tswana words correctly it's not fair to be honest even us we would struggle to pronounce in their languages ..😂
Botswana women are thick in a good way. According to statistics, u gotta be careful STD wise. Thats what these that folks conduct census stating. But the women are gorgeous
First of all, i have visited Botswana several times and each time hoping i will get to experience the best of it but sadly that has never been the case. Botswana is generally hot and thats a huge turn off for me, i love sunny weather but its BLAZING HOT all the time even in winter sometimes, the capital city Gaborone is sparsely built which is kind of cool because it feels like a little town and there isn’t too much traffic or nothing which is what i enjoy everything else there nothin fun about it, i really enjoyed visiting cape town in South Africa though, i had a blast in cape town really, good beaches, the table mountains, the vineyards man i can’t even say it all, the best part of my trip was when i visited the eastern highlands in Zimbabwe i visited places like bvumba botanical gardens in bvumba, the leopard rock hotel in bvumba was a revelation and that mountainous region is truly beautiful, i also visited Nyanga and got to experience areas like troutbeck resort and mtarazi falls and skyline the falls are a whooping 772 meters and truly majestic i also visited places like mana pools national park in Mash west and Singita pamushana resort in chiredzi and lastly i visited Victoria falls town and i got to experience the mighty victoria falls, stayed in the big city in Harare for 4 nights, stayed two nights at Sandawood lodge and the other 2 nights at the Peech Botique Hotel.
Jay, you need to be more humble and appreciative of such a beautiful land. It seems like because you’ve lived your life in a place that is dirty and congested, you think that’s how it’s supposed to be.
😂 You don't know where I lived my life. Stop being sensitive. Accept the fact that criticism of one aspect of your city is NOT a personal criticism of you. Thanks for watching
It’s the least developed city in Southern Africa in terms of infrastructure but it will get there some day , it just needs proper town planning & better architecture Edit: and there’s only one video made of Botswana which proves my point that there’s nothing there really
I think it needs more people too. It shouldn't become a mega-city but you need more inhabitants to unlock it's potential, similar to Windhoek in Namibia.
@@JayFocused yes you’re right the two countries are very much similar In population dynamics & emptiness feels ,,, but Windhoek is much bigger , organized & has proper infrastructure & road network that’s where Gaborone lacks , if it could push a lil further by investing in its infrastructure it would attract a lot of migration but it’s disadvantaged by SA & Namibia coz they have oceans 🌊 so people who option to move to the southern part of Africa would choose countries with a coast than inland , this is viewed even in the population history of both countries , they both used to be 2.5 million people, now Botswana is 2.6 million & Namibia is over 3 million Gaborone has over 200k while Windhoek has 500k
Gaborone is more developed than most capital cities in Southern Africa. A small population is not a problem; look at the Gulf states like Kuwait, the UAE, they only number a couple of million each (Kuwait arnd 6 million). A large unproductive population is different from a China, or Germany, large and productive populations. In terms of levels of productivity and management of resources; some African countries can not justify having a population of over 5000, even then I am quite sure, given the ineptitude & corruption, that country would be poor.
@@inigomulaisho2809 which city is it more developed than in Southern Africa ?? Have you checked the development index , have you travelled before ?? I can’t even put Lesotho’s capital below Gaborone , maybe eswatini but I doubt
Well done Jay for showcasing our credle of mankind that is, Africa. Botswana is undoutly a nice country to live in, raise kids and make investment. Welcome back to your ROOTS. Regards fro Luanda-Angola
No no please. We are happy as we are. We don't want too many people to come and corrupt us. We like to retain our peaceful humane existence where people are not valued by how many billions they have. We want to remain simple villagers who still care about our neighbors. I bet West Africans are too many because they are religious. It is daft to do that. Botswana is fine as it is. The resources must never be overpowered by the size of the population. In Botswana, a child is given a piece of land when they reach the age of 18. That is how you eradicate poverty
Come out bold and say it to our face. You mean to say Nigeria. It is the only populated nation in West Africa. I smell South African enviousness from this your post.
@@youme1414 Who said people want to come to Botswana? I was answering the person who said to fly West Africans to Botswana. It wasn't my idea. Let everyone stay in their countries I say. Over population is self inflicted. If you allow the white man to treat your women like cattle with his religion, causing them to breed mindlessly to enrich him and his capitalism, then you will have that problem. Just contain your population and breed according to the size of your resources, not breed for the simple reason that you are able. That is just daft. Botswana is predicted to be a high income country in not so long a future because we do not breed like rabbits. We contain our numbers so we are not frustrated and unable to deal with that which comes with mindless breeding.
NYC density is one extreme and Los Angeles/Phoenix sprawl is the other extreme. I don't like either. Spanish cities like Malaga or Toulouse in France get it right. You don't need a car but you also don't have to live in a tiny box apartment and hear your neighbor fart next door and deal with vermin from the crowded conditions.
Botswana is not racist. Only get to know the people, talk to them and see their response. Many project that based on assumptions not the facts on the ground.
What an abomination ….. sugared waffles with bacon and chicken! Are you serious …. 😅 On a serious note, I have been getting the impression over the years that Botswana/Gabarone (pronounced Haparone, I think) is fairly clean, calm, organized, with a fairly educated population and with little corruption compared to other African countries Oh, and they have some awesome traditional dance competitions 😊
What have you heard about Botswana?

@@inigomulaisho2809 which city is it more developed than in Southern Africa ?? Have you checked the development index , have you travelled before ?? I can’t even put Lesotho’s capital below Gaborone , maybe eswatini but I doubt

How shady of you to use Nairobi city as a thumbnail for your Gaborone video? C'mon man do better, couldn't you find a skyline of Gaborone?
Thanks for watching
Bruh you jealous 😂 we are better in Gaborone. Back of
@@onikaferris6403 Lol, Gaborone is a village compared to Nairobi. Get out of here.
Comeon,! Jay its Gaborone not Gabarone..
You got it. Are you from there?
@@JayFocused yep!

They need to fly west Africans over there. West Africa is over populated relative to resources.
What about Central Africans? The Congo has the 3rd largest population.
No no please. We are happy as we are. We don't want too many people to come and corrupt us. We like to retain our peaceful humane existence where people are not valued by how many billions they have. We want to remain simple villagers who still care about our neighbors. I bet West Africans are too many because they are religious. It is daft to do that. Botswana is fine as it is. The resources must never be overpowered by the size of the population. In Botswana, a child is given a piece of land when they reach the age of 18. That is how you eradicate poverty
Come out bold and say it to our face. You mean to say Nigeria. It is the only populated nation in West Africa. I smell South African enviousness from this your post.
@@the8thchurch461 There are more people in Botswana that Cape Verde in West Africa. So no West African want to come to your overrated country.
@@youme1414 Who said people want to come to Botswana? I was answering the person who said to fly West Africans to Botswana. It wasn't my idea. Let everyone stay in their countries I say. Over population is self inflicted. If you allow the white man to treat your women like cattle with his religion, causing them to breed mindlessly to enrich him and his capitalism, then you will have that problem. Just contain your population and breed according to the size of your resources, not breed for the simple reason that you are able. That is just daft. Botswana is predicted to be a high income country in not so long a future because we do not breed like rabbits. We contain our numbers so we are not frustrated and unable to deal with that which comes with mindless breeding.
ethiopian women vs Botswana / SA women?
Ethiopian are more conservative. Thanks for watching
So glad you called out the imposter (fiction boy)

This looks like black heaven most of the females are baddies and I hate density nyc sucks I like the sprawl there's more parking space😂
NYC density is one extreme and Los Angeles/Phoenix sprawl is the other extreme. I don't like either.
Spanish cities like Malaga or Toulouse in France get it right. You don't need a car but you also don't have to live in a tiny box apartment and hear your neighbor fart next door and deal with vermin from the crowded conditions.
Beautiful video,,. Just one intsi bintsi tini winnie hiccup😕 ,, smol smol tin ,. It's Gaborone,, not Gabarone 😪

That’s very true. I was born in Botswana but was denied citizenship and my permanent residence was cancelled for no reason
There is really not much to do Gaborone 😂. From my own experience.
Hahaha...plenty of malls!
@@JayFocused you don't strike me as a mall rat
When in Rome, or rather Gabo-rone

Are you sure this is Batswana 😅

Botswana is not racist. Only get to know the people, talk to them and see their response. Many project that based on assumptions not the facts on the ground.

What an abomination ….. sugared waffles with bacon and chicken! Are you serious …. 😅
On a serious note, I have been getting the impression over the years that Botswana/Gabarone (pronounced Haparone, I think) is fairly clean, calm, organized, with a fairly educated population and with little corruption compared to other African countries
Oh, and they have some awesome traditional dance competitions 😊
🤣🤣🤣
