Workation in Francistown: the essentials
Southern Africa's first gold rush happened around Francistown, and old, abandoned mines still ring the city. Today it is Botswana's second-largest city, with about 103,000 residents (2022), and a commercial centre of the east, about 400 km north-northeast of Gaborone and 90 km from the Zimbabwean border. Its name is the only English one among Botswana's cities, while in the streets you are more likely to hear Kalanga. Travellers mostly pass through on the way north, so there is little aimed at visitors and daily life is that of an ordinary regional city. The airport is about 5 km away.
