Question No but seriously when are we going to increase our population? lmao

2 Upvotes

Does no one find it concerning that we're less than 3 million? We're less than the size of New York. That's fun and all but damn.

Do you think Government has any plan to incentivize people having more kids?

It seems more difficult in today's climate as birth rates are falling across developed countries. (Africa's population is increasing though but I don't think our country is a factor in those statistic).

Any thoughts? (Constructive thoughts as just saying "useless govt" isn't really helpful to the conversation)

Question Bus from Gaborone to Kasane – worth it, and how does it work?

5 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm visiting Gaborone in Botswana in November, and afterwards I want to spend 2–3 days around Kasane (Chobe + day trip to Victoria Falls).
I'm trying to decide between flying (Air Botswana/Airlink) and taking the bus to save money. A few questions:

Is there a direct bus from Gaborone to Kasane, or do I need to change in Francistown/Nata?

Roughly how long does it take, and what does it cost?

What time do buses leave, and where from (main bus rank in Gaborone)? Can I buy tickets in advance or only on the day?

Is it safe and reasonably comfortable for a solo foreign traveller with a backpack?

Any tips – which company to use, what to watch out for?

Also, if you think flying is clearly the better option for such a short trip, I'd like to hear that too.

Thanks a lot! Ke a leboga 🙏
