I climbed Kgale hill with my 21 year old daughter on a Sunday. It took about 50 mins to get to the top. I last climbed it in 1975 and have a photo from the top. Sadly the final bit is now blocked off by a radio tower. It’s a decent steady walk. Surprisingly clean but not well signposted hence the 4*. Luckily we followed someone otherwise it would have been stressful. We took an iDrive (Uber equivalent) to the car park at c8:30 am to avoid the heat. It was quite busy with lots of families and even a scout group at the top. We felt totally safe. There is not a great deal to do in Gaborone by Western tourist standards so worth doing this.

This is a great place to go and hike. The view from the top is fab, as you can see the Gaborone Dam. It can get busy on weekend mornings and the track is narrow. Some litter which is really sad to see.

Situated on the outskirts of Gaborone (capital of Botswana) near Game City Mall, this is an ideal morning getaway especially on weekends. A short drive straight from Game City (instead of entering the mall parking) and the road turns left towards a gravel path and then again on left hand side, a makeshift parking exists, which serves as entrance to the Kgale Hill (pronounced Kaaley Hill) Public Park. Two adjacent paths can be seen, though both lead to the same first plateau with about 15-20 minutes of not-so-difficult rocky hike on granite rocks. From this plateau, a brief steep hike gets climbers to the top of first smaller hill, with a scenic view point on right hand side and a nice cool breeze. From this point, a 10 minute downhill and then a steep 15-20 minute uphill hike opens up to the top of the Kgale Hill from where Gaborone Dam and Mokolodi Nature Reserve offer beautiful views, as also the A1 highway going to Lobatse. Many people can be seen imbibing the views, doing light exercises and stretching at the hilltop. Undoubtedly, it is a popular destination for many locals and visitors, especially on weekend mornings when weather is not too hot. Children 10 years and above can complete the trail (both the hills) with enthusiasm. November and December appear to be ideal months, because of verdancy after the rains in the region. Walking path is easily noticeable and no particular tour guide is needed in this 2.5 hour (approx) adventure.

Hiked this awesome hill for the first time in August and I will definitely be frequenting it every chance I get. There is 2 ways to hike, through the paved road or the rocky steep path (most adventurous and exciting). The air and the view is amazing once you reach the top.

The Hills offer a great view of the city including parts of the Dam, the Quarry and the rest of the city with the backdrop of misty mountains and bushy hills at sunrise. It takes about an hour to climb to the top if you are at it (without breaks). Totally worth the climb!

With a height above sea level of approx 1598 metres the total vertical climb is about 600 metres. It start fairly and then quickly becomes quite rocky and makes for a great climb. There are few routes up the hill. Take the one to left for a bit more of a rocky vertical climb or the one to the right for a flatter climb.
Both climbs end up the top of the hill next to the phone towers and present a beautiful view over the Gabs dam and city.
It’s definitely worth the exercise and most certainly worth the view!

Every morning I pass this hill before going to the office and coming back from the office. The hill gives you a relaxed feeling before going into the hectic city and it gives you a feeling of release when coming out of town.

Kgale hill is a must to climb, if you have the stamina. It's not a real easy climb, but if you are in a normal/good condition you can climb the hill. Like the hill in Oodi, this is a place where a lot of people go for a picnic when the moon is full. We did the climb after work and had a nice view on the city. Leave your jewellery and other belongings at home. Beware of baboons (we didn't encounter any, but baboons are everywhere in Africa). I wouldn't recommend this for families with very small children.

Nice Walk. Two paths to the top - when you pass the first Hill and meet a Stone With two arrows on choose the Hill on the left for the hard rock climbing style path to the top or go right to get to the semi paver Road Which takes you almost all the Way to the top
By accident we took the rock climbing path- that was tough!
But excellent view from the top 😊 well worth the climb
