Mopipi is a small town in central Botswana, about 400 kilometers north of the capital city of Gaboro, in the Central Region. Located on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, near the lower Okavango Delta, the town is one of Botswana's important agropastoral bases for cattle breeding and drought-tolerant crops. The area around Mopipi is rich in natural resources, and its proximity to the Makgadikgadi salt marshes and tributaries of the Okavango River attracts a small number of eco-tourists. The town has a relatively simple infrastructure and is dominated by local community life services, with a population of around 10,000, making it a low-key gateway for exploring the landscape and culture of Botswana's interior.
