Landscape near Palapye

A whirlwind in the semi desert in Palapye, 240 kilometres north of Gaborone and 170 kilometres south of Francistown. The Bamangwato people, under Kgosi Khama III, are widely believed to be the first people to have settled near present-day Palapye. Their capital was the settlement of Phalatswe, also called Old Palapye, and was situated at the western end of the Tswapong Hills.
