Botswana is the setting for HBO series “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.”


The first major film/TV project to be shot entirely on location in Botswana, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is helping to put Botswana on the global tourism map with your clients!

This recently aired series, based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith, chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe (played by Jill Scott), the cheerful, eminently sensible proprietor of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, located in the Kgale Hill Shopping Center on the outskirts of Gaborone.

The beauty and diversity of Botswana landscapes and people are brought to life as Precious, aided by her efficient yet high-strung secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), travels the country and investigates a variety of cases, helping townspeople solve mysteries in their lives, from missing children to philandering husbands to con-artist scams.

Though the seven episode series has completed airing on HBO, you can check out what  your clients are buzzing about, viewing episode recaps on the The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency video page, going behind the scenes, exploring Botswana and its music and meeting Jill Scott & Anika Noni Rose!
