Well, the road is tar all the way now - depends on traffic and how fast you drive, but 8 - 10 hours if you don't hit a cow on the road or if the sand hasn't drifted across the road in the exposed places too much. It's hot this time of year too, so take plenty of cold water or other liquid to drink. Safe journey especially in Zimb, it's not so safe there these days.

I am a little surprised with the previous responses. I guess it depends on what border you want to go through. Gaborone to Bulawayo which is fairly close to the southeast border takes 6 to 6 1/2 hours. It is actually about 4 hours to Francistown, Botswana, and then another 2 on into Bulawayo. The border of Zimbabwe itself is at about 4 1/2 hours from Gaborone. I have made this trip many times. Recommend that you travel by day as the comment about cows on the road is very accurate.
