  • Zebra Way, Gaborone, Botswana
    Referred to as Zebra Drive in the Book Series, this street is where Mma Ramotswe would have had her house. We cannot access the house, it is private property but we will appreciate the neighborhood and its architecture. From here we head off to the Old Tlokweng Bridge, where at the Notswane River she solved her very first case as a detective. Crossing the river puts us in the village of Tlokweng, home of 'the Orphan farm' (visits can be arranged by request), and 'Speedy Motors'. The drive takes us back into Gaborone passing Riverwalk Mall and through Grace Makhutse's 'suburb' in the city before she got married.

It was pleasantly nice to trace some part of the famous Mma Ramotswe investigative stories! The tour was a blend of No. 1 Ladies Detective... and Botswana cultural history, which we found very interesting and informative. Andy, our tour guide provided excellent narrative through out as well as being able to accommodate questions from children or younger quests! Well worth the visit!

Our guide, Andy, was very friendly and knowledgeable about Botswana history. We were able to see the house on Zebra Way where McCall-Smith wrote the first book, and we met one of the guys who was the inspiration for JLB Matekoni. We also drove around the university area and the hospital, both of which featured in the series, and went to the Anglican cathedral where Mma. Ramotswe worshiped. There was a bit more general history and a bit less about the books than I expected, and it would have been nice to see the mini mall where her office was supposed to be, but in general the tour was interesting and worthwhile.
