Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for Botswana land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

This listing is a focused entry point for:

  • ~865k plots nationwide from the LAPCAS land administration project, each with its plot number and, on about a third, the village or town
  • The City of Gaborone's ~52k lots, with survey record, approved survey diagram and township extension
  • Plot lookup by number and village (plot 6121 Ghanzi), Gaborone lot number (35571, 2881-KO), or coordinates
  • Satellite and street map images of a plot and its neighbours, labelled by plot number

Plots have no owner, tenure (tribal, state or freehold) or price information.
