For most travelers, Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE) is the essential entry point to Gaborone, as it is the only airport located within the city itself. It handles both domestic and international traffic, serving as a primary hub for regional connections within southern Africa. Travelers arriving here have a range of options, though the airport lacks public transit like trains or subways. Private taxis and pre-booked hotel shuttles provide the most reliable and comfortable door-to-door service, while rental cars are a popular choice for those planning to explore Botswana’s broader landscape. Because Gaborone is a sprawling city, having a private transport arrangement, such as a pre-booked shuttle, is often recommended to avoid the stress of negotiating fares upon arrival. Stick to official airport taxi ranks or verified hotel transfers to ensure safety and transparency in pricing. Since there is no public rail or extensive city bus network serving the airport directly, taxis remain the most practical mode for nearly all visitors arriving by air.

We stayed at the this hotel 3 times in the space of a month. We returned here for many reasons, the location and the food. But what stood out for me the most was the staff. They were all so friendly and approachable, always willing to help when they can. Thank you to all the staff and in particular Bame, Thabile, Arnold, Babedi, Sharon and Keikantse.

We were met late at night at the airport by a lovely gentleman called Mpho, he was very attentive from start to finish. Check in was smooth with Tebogo and relatively fast.
In the morning breakfast was great, great mix of western and local foods were on display. Staff were very friendly and approachable throughout our stay.
The only slight improvement I would recommend would be having a shower mat as the showers were rather slippery as well as a shower curtain or doors.FromUS$99
