Among the places you should visit is Gaborone Game Reserve and Orapa House, where they sort and evaluate diamonds from the world's largest diamond mine in Jwaneng. We can also recommend the National Museum & Art Gallery, which houses stuffed animals and cultural relics of great importance to this part of Africa.
