Mokolodi Nature Reserve, a private sanctuary just south of Gaborone, Botswana, is a beacon of wildlife conservation and environmental education. Spanning 30 square kilometers, this reserve, established in 1994 by The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation, offers a haven for both common and vulnerable species. Key inhabitants include giraffes, zebras, and southern white rhinoceroses, which are integral to a national breeding program aimed at boosting Botswana's rhino population. The reserve's diverse ecosystem also shelters mountain reedbucks, red hartebeests, and elusive leopards, alongside reptiles and birds in specialized enclosures. With well-maintained paths for close wildlife encounters, Mokolodi provides an immersive experience while expanding its conservation efforts. The reserve's educational initiatives, engaging children from various backgrounds, highlight its commitment to nurturing environmental stewardship and sustainable tourism, making it a vital resource for both conservation and community education.

Nice wild reservation near the Gaborone and worth to visit if not going for a safari in the north. Several species can be spotted during the 2 hours gane drive. It is required minimum 4 participants for the game drive, each at 250 BWP, otherwise it should be paid 1000 BWP among all the available persons (in case less than 4).

This is the closest nature reserve from central Gaborone. I took game safari in 2 hours. It was P250 per adult which is cheaper than doing in SouthAfrica. Finally, I got to see rhinos family! It was fantastic!
