Highlights

On the trans-Kalahari highway

Perfectly placed for the long run between Johannesburg and Windhoek — pull off the road, refuel, sleep well and head on in the morning.

Five minutes to Jwaneng Mine

The world-renowned Jwaneng Diamond Mine — one of the richest in the world — is only five minutes from the door, with the Jwana Game Park right alongside.

Cool off after the road

A relaxed outdoor pool and a proper pool bar — the Botswana antidote to a long day on the highway or in meetings.

Built for corporate Botswana

Flexible meeting venues, day-delegate packages and reliable Wi-Fi — the easy choice for mining contractors, government and corporate visitors.
