Francistown, the "old lady of Botswana" is the countru's second largest municipality. It is said to be the oldest urban settlement in Botswana.
Located over 400 km north of Gaborone, the city may not have much to offer as a tourist spot. There is a small museum and there is an interesting market. More importantly its convenient location makes Francistwon it an ideal gateway to the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, the Chobe National Park and the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
