Mahalapye is a town located in the Central District of Botswana. The town has about 39,000 inhabitants[citation needed] and is situated along the main road between the capital Gaborone and the second largest city Francistown. Mahalapye has a bus station, a railwaystation, a couple of hotels and a market area with many shops and fastfood restaurants. It also has several petrol stations, some open 24/7. Being situated on the edge of the Kalahari desert it is quite dry, and the local waterways are dry except during the rainy season.
