Mokolodi Nature Reserve

Mokolodi Nature Reserve is a private not-for-profit game reserve in southern Botswana. Founded in 1994 by The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation, it is situated on 30 square kilometres of donated land, 10 kilometres south of the capital Gaborone. The nature reserve is inhabited by a wide variety of indigenous African game, bird and reptile species, some of which are rare and vulnerable to the threat of extinction.

The southern white rhinoceros herd at Mokolodi Nature Reserve is part of a national breeding programme which contributes to the rebuilding of the national herd in Botswana. There is also a reptile park containing black mamba, Mozambique spitting cobra, puff adder and snouted cobra, amongst other species, and an aviary with rescued white-backed vulture and cape vulture. For nature and wildlife lovers, the reserve offers an excursion from Gaborone that provides a wide variety of activities for the entire family.

Mokolodi offers game drives, guided walks, horse-back safaris, rhino-tracking, giraffe-tracking, walks with trained elephants, and cheetah visits. Facilities include camping sites, chalets, picnic sites, an education centre, a museum and library, the World's View Conference Centre, and a lovely stone thatch restaurant that gives a beautiful view of the surrounding bush. Environmental education for children from local schools is a significant part of the Mokolodi Reserve's mandate. Each year, thousands of schoolchildren come for courses, sleeping in the dormitories or camp-outs.
