Mosques

Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, is home to a small but established Muslim community with several prayer places spread across the city and its outskirts. Based on available mapped records, there are at least 8 mosques and Islamic centres within a 50 km radius of the city centre. These include well-known landmarks such as Masjid Jamia (Jamia Mosque) on Notwane Road, Masjid-un-Noor, and Shah Khalid Mosque, all located within 2 km of the city core. This network of prayer spaces serves the spiritual needs of local Muslims, expatriates, students, and travellers.

The distribution of listed prayer places reveals a concentration in central Gaborone, with additional facilities in surrounding areas. For instance, Block 8 Musallah Masjid is situated on Khiding Crescent in the Block 8 neighbourhood, while Naledi Islamic Centre and Masjid Bab ul Ilm Centre on Bodumatau Road extend coverage to the southern and eastern parts of the city. Further afield, Tlokweng Islamic Center (JamaatKhana) serves the Tlokweng area about 7.7 km away, and Mochudi masjid is located in the town of Mochudi, 37.7 km north of Gaborone. This spread indicates that Muslims living in or visiting these districts have access to dedicated prayer facilities.

For new arrivals, students, workers, or families, the presence of multiple mosques within short distances makes it easier to find a convenient place for daily prayers, Jumu'ah, or community gatherings. The addresses provided for each location—such as Notwane Road for Masjid Jamia or Khiding Crescent for Block 8 Musallah—help users pinpoint exact locations. While this listing is based on verified records, it is always advisable to confirm details directly with the mosque or Islamic centre, especially for prayer times, facilities, and accessibility. Gaborone's Muslim community, though modest in size, is well-served by these prayer spaces across the city and its neighbouring areas.
