Kgatleng District

Kgatleng District stretches across eastern Botswana at an elevation of 935 meters, featuring savannah landscapes with tall grasses, bushes, and scattered trees.

The district emerged as a significant administrative region after Botswana gained independence from British rule in 1966, becoming one of the country's primary territorial divisions.

The Bakgatla people form the foundation of Kgatleng's population, maintaining their ethnic traditions through local ceremonies and community gatherings in Mochudi.

The district connects to South Africa through borders with North West and Limpopo provinces, while maintaining domestic connections with South-East, Kweneng, and Central districts.

The Matsieng Footprints archaeological site within the district presents ancient human traces, while Oodi weavers demonstrate traditional textile craftsmanship.
