A wonderfully tranquil place, 15km north of town off the road to Maun, Woodlands is easily the pick of places to stay around Francistown if you have your own wheels. The budget chalets are tidy, the bungalows are nicely appointed and come with loads of space, while the immaculate campsites are Botswana's cleanest and a wonderful respite from dusty trails.
Anne and Mike are welcoming hosts and the grounds are filled with birdsong. There's no restaurant, but there are prepackaged meals available as well as braai packs for use on the barbecue areas.
