Highlights

Two clicks from the CBD

Just 2 km from the centre of Gaborone — close enough for the meeting, far enough to actually sleep.

Five acres of luscious gardens

Mature lawns, big shady trees and quiet pathways — a proper green buffer in the middle of the capital.

Ten kilometres to Mokolodi

The Mokolodi Nature Reserve — rhino, giraffe, cheetah encounters and bushwalks — is a 10 km drive from the door.

Built for business and safari

Stylish rooms, decadent cuisine and meeting venues for corporate Gaborone — and the perfect rest before heading north on safari.
