Central District

The Central District is a large administrative region in eastern Botswana featuring varied landscapes of plains, hills, and river valleys. Nine subdivisions form a network of settlements distributed across the territory, ranging from smaller communities to larger towns.

The region was traditionally the homeland of the Bamangwato people and played a central role in Botswana's modern state formation. Leadership from this zone shaped the country during its early years of independence.

The region carries forward Tswana ways of life through daily practices and local gatherings that shape community life. Visitors can observe how people maintain their language, crafts, and extended family bonds as core parts of their identity.

The region is relatively central in the country and accessible through various routes, with Serowe serving as a good base for exploring. Visitors should plan to explore multiple locations since the subdivisions are spread across the territory.

The territory holds one of the highest concentrations of population in Botswana and contains two of the country's largest urban centers. This density of settlement stands out distinctly from the rest of the nation.
