Mokolodi Nature Reserve offers impressive bird watching in the Gaborone area. The guided game drives aren’t really geared towards birding, but if you drive around the reserve yourself, you’ll pick up a good number of species. Both bushveld and Kalahari specials can be spotted.

Best Time for Bird Watching
From November to April, migrants can be found in the reserve – these wet summer months are the best for bird watching. It is also the time when a lot of birds can be seen in breeding plumage. Mokolodi is great for birders, though, throughout the year.
