As a way of bouncing back from the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic within the tourism sector, Vincent Excellent Tour Southern Heritage recently launched a 230-kilometre circuit in Gaborone.

The trail that starts in Matsieng, goes through Gaborone, via the Livingstone Memorial, and into Kanye offers a sliver of historical treats found in the country.

The complete trail starts in Gaborone, goes through Motsenekatse Hill in Molapowabojang cutting through the historical sites to join up the liberation trail in Lobatse.  At the launch, vehicles and a helicopter for this trail were unveiled along with the plan, promising to be available on a regular basis for such expedition.  Speaking at the launch, the acting director of the National Museum Stephen Mogotsi explained that Vincent Travel Southern Botswana Heritage Trail comes at a time when the world is grappling with the effects of the pandemic on a global tourism scale.  He explained that the company was a product of the tourism ministry through the Department of National Museum and Monuments.  He added that even though tourists at tour companies at the individual level have been using it, it was the first time that a tourism company adopted it with vigour, passion, and facilitation.
