Outdoor Activity
Create an itinerary including Kgale Hill
Hike up 1,287 m (4,222 ft) and bask in the panoramic views from the top of Kgale Hill. Nicknamed "The Sleeping Giant," the hill's summit can be reached by any of three routes: Rusty's Route, which gets quite steep in places; an hour-long walk along Transfeldt Trail, or; the rolling saddle of Cross Kopje. Notice the baboons on your journey, but don't get too close, as the playful primates have been known to cause problems for tourists.

    It's nice place for those who likes trucking. It's in the Gaborone city. And we will get a nice view from its top.
