Botswana is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. No matter which region you decide to tackle, you can expect long stretches of vast open spaces. Depending on your location, you can go for days without encountering any significant towns and the rarest of all: a genuinely blue sky in every direction without a trace of pollution.Whether it is Makgadikgadi Pans, the Tuli area, scrub brush, or even seas of sand-dunes, nature on a scale most people can barely imagine is what awaits in Botswana. These conditions make Botswana an ideal destination or waypoint for touring cyclists. Some of the safari lodges and game reserves offer guided mountain and trail bike tours. Furthermore, Gaborone is home to an active mountain-biking and road cycling community, with many long and short trails available on cycle planning apps such as Strava and MapMyRide.
