The University of Botswana, established in 1982, is the country's first higher education institution with campuses in Gaborone, Francistown, and Maun. It evolved from a regional university shared with Lesotho and Swaziland, becoming fully independent after a nationwide fundraising effort known as "One Man, One Beast." The university comprises multiple faculties, including Business, Engineering, and Health Sciences, and is home to the Sir Ketumile Masire Teaching Hospital. UB ranks among sub-Saharan Africa's top universities and offers a range of academic, recreational, and medical facilities for students.

Not sure how to put it. The facility is great but the staffing... to put it short service is a joke and not a good one. Not everyone is terrible of course but there are far too many that are. Try being a student...and I bet you won't like it

The University of Botswana is in my mind one of the best universities in Africa. This was the first university I attended and the courses are solid, from personal experience. Pictured is one of the gates to enter the university, there are multiple entry points, the dorms, and the library - around which construction was going on at the time the pictures were taken. The pictures were taken around 2008.

Great place.. Good architecture/ awesome buildings and sights. Large parking space 🅿 and accessible by any visitor without lots of restrictions. I had a good experience with their customer service representatives and the guys at the admissions department's office.
