Kgale Hill Public Park - Gaborone

Always a great hike up Kgale Hill. Easy enough and a great workout. Hike with friends as its safer than hiking it alone. Always make way for the baboons if they are also on the same trail as you. Be cautious of your surroundings for snakes and scorpions. Enjoy the view when you reach the summit!

Arrived at 4:45am in order to reach the top of the hill by 5:20am in time for sunrise. The hike up the hill is not challenging and can be done in the dark with a small torch, even the mobile phone. If it isn't a cloudy day then the view of the sun coming through over the hills is a beautiful sight. Worth a try!

Nice and easy hike beginner level, kid friendly. Beautiful views from city, dam and landscape with South Africa on the horizon. Careful with baboons near parking lot. Bring water, stay hydrated. Please don't litter, so sad to see trash everywhere. On the way down from the hill pay attention when to leave paved path otherwise you will end up at the quarry.

Solid hiking trail! The first few minutes from the parking are effectively through industrial grounds, around a quarry fence, but after that it’s straight up and into the hills. Trails (there are several variations) are unmistakable and easy to follow. On a Saturday morning, there were many others hiking too: we passed a group coming down every few minutes. It felt safe and fun. Glad we did this! Took about 1h45 round-trip.

Nice view of the city, good hiking spot, active with fitness hiking on weekends.
