Highlights
Francistown is waiting
Less than 10 minutes from the city centre — close enough for the meeting, quiet enough to actually breathe.
On the Tati River
Manicured lawns roll down to the riverbank — a green, bird-rich buffer in Botswana's second city.
A campsite with comforts
A well-maintained on-site campsite with hot water, ablutions and Wi-Fi — the soft-landing version of camping.
Built for business and the road north
Conference venues, à la carte dining, and the natural overnight before pushing on to Chobe, Maun, or the Zimbabwe border.
