What you can reach from Gaborone

Gaborone is Botswana's calm capital and the southern entry to the Okavango circuit. From here the practical targets are Okavango Delta (UNESCO), Chobe National Park, Makgadikgadi Pans, Moremi Game Reserve. Operators based in Gaborone run these as day trips and multi-day circuits depending on distance.

What a trip costs, and why the number differs here

Expect US$35–1140 per person depending on length, group size and whether park fees are bundled. On Cabana that figure is the operator's own price. Aggregators typically take 15–25% from the operator, and that margin is priced into the rate you are quoted elsewhere — the same guide, the same vehicle, a higher number.

Booking direct with the operator

Cabana has no Gaborone tour operators listed yet. The model is direct booking with zero commission — an operator keeps 100% of what they charge — so if you run trips from Gaborone, listing is free and takes a few minutes. The costs and seasons above are independent guidance either way.

When to go

May–Oct dry season; Jun–Aug for Okavango flood. Wildlife density, road condition and price all move with that window, so it is worth building the trip around it where you can.
