About Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources:

 The Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources was established through an Act of Parliament No.12 of 2015 following the repeal of the Botswana College of Agriculture Act No.9 of 1991. The history of the institution dates as far back as 1967 at Content Farm in Sebele Gaborone, when the Ministry of Agriculture decided to transfer the Certificate in Agriculture course, which had been offered since 1959 at Mahalapye. Assistance from the British charity organizations, Freedom from Hunger and Oxfarm as well as funds obtained from the Botswana Government were used to construct the first buildings of the Botswana Agricultural College (BAC). The University continues to grow at its two campuses in Sebele and Lobatse by developing new programmes that are relevant to the needs of industry in the areas of agriculture, natural resources and allied fields.

About Botswana:

You are encouraged to study in Botswana one of Africa’s jewels with a rich historical and cultural vibrancy. With a booming economy and a healthy socio-political system, the country is an inviting environment for a student to carry out their studies in.

About the city:

Gaborone is a buzzing and tempting city that is bursting out of a nutshell. The inhabitants themselves feed the inexhaustible source of creative energy, a source that is far from saturated. The capital city was named after Kgosi Gaborone, leader of the Batlokwa people, who migrated from their ancestral homelands in the Magaliesberg Mountains and in 1881 settled in the Tlokweng area. Gaborone literally means ‘it does not fit badly’ or ‘it is not unbecoming.”

The tolerant mind-set of Gaborone derives from the gathering of the many different cultures and the thousands strong individual minds. The beautification of the edginess inspires, provokes opportunities and creates an intersection where two extremes meet each other and therefore become indefinable.

While the city boarders mark a town of a friendly and agreeable size, the many districts offer an immense variety of different atmospheres and make you often wonder yourself if you’re still wandering through the same metropolis. All neighbourhoods have two things in common: a warm friendly people and a rich experimental food culture. Gaborone boasts a range of hotels, and a choice of cinemas and casinos. Restaurants are numerous and varied, nightclubs often host live music by local artists. The National Museum is situated near the centre of town and houses important collections of traditional crafts and southern African fine art.

Gaborone is not different from any other city. It’s soiled with Western needs, such as pubs and luxury hotels. But as soon as you leave the city and its main roads, it is as if you walk straight into another world. Offering the best of both possible worlds, the silence takes your breath away for a fraction of time while you enter into rural Africa or wildlife areas within minutes.
