Kgale Hill

Kgale Hill is a hill positioned in Gaborone, Botswana. Nicknamed "The Sleeping Giant", Kgale Hill reaches a summit elevation of one,287 metres above sea level. The hill used to be domestic to a television repeater and is now a visitor destination. Hikers have a preference of three trails to climb to the height. During the one-hour walk to the pinnacle, hikers can typically see troops of baboons. The hill is the web site of the PPC King of the Hill race, a collaboration between PPC Botswana and the Gaborone Runners Club.

The 15 kilometres race starts on the PPC Botswana office, travels past Game City Mall, winds across the Kgale Quarry, climbs up the hill, and goes lower back to the PPC Botswana workplace. Filming for The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency passed off at the foot of Kgale Hill, giving rise to the nickname "Kgalewood" for the set. The show's producers signed a 10-year lease for the location, and the Botswana authorities has invested US$five million in the TV show so that you can increase the set for tourism.
