Cindybots:“Mokolodi Restaurant is famous for its German pork knuckle and woodfire pizza. The weird names are all very interesting, all of which are place names in Botswana. In addition to the restaurant, Mokolodi also has a wildlife sightseeing area, where you can take an open-top sightseeing car or drive yourself. You can see giraffes, zebras, lions and various African wild animals. There is also a camping area, where you can enjoy the authentic wild beauty of Africa more than ten kilometers away from the capital.”What to eat

-Felix.:“
🌟Walk into Africa's Wizard of Oz, Gaborone Botanical Garden is waiting for you! 🌈
👣Every step into this magical land is a new discovery. From the moment you enter the garden, you will be surrounded by greenery, as if you are in a huge natural oxygen bar! 🍃
🔍Follow the signs and shuttle between the rare plant garden and the medicinal plant garden. Each plant has its story, waiting for you to listen. 📚Remember to bring your camera📷 to capture these elves in nature and let their beauty freeze in your lens.
🚶♀️Be careful with your feet. Although the road here is flat, you should also avoid stepping on those shy little guys. 🌱For poisonous or thorny plants, we just appreciate them from a distance!
💧Don't forget to bring your water bottle🥤. In between explorations, find a cool place to take a rest, replenish water, and continue your green journey.
📚Want to learn more about these plants? Then don't miss the plant knowledge lectures or activities in the park, which will surely open your eyes and give you a lot of gains! 🎓
💌Finally, don't forget to leave your footprints on this magical land, but don't take anything that doesn't belong to you! 🌍Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!”
