is currently being experienced at the present airports. However, such plans have been put on halt due to the current renovations and expansion at Gaborone Airport and a newly renovated Francistown Airport. Tourist attractions There are several well-known tourist attractions close to Palapye. Khama Rhino Sanctuary, outside of neighbouring Serowe, is probably the best known and is some from Palapye. Here, there are endangered black and white rhino. The Tswapong Hills also have many areas of historical significance and well as the Moremi Gorge. This is an area of great beauty as it has a permanent water source. About ESE of Palapye, close to the village of Malaka, are the remains of Phalatswe, also called Old Palapye, the capital of the Bamangwato people under Khama III from 1889 to 1902.
