Top choice in Gaborone
This great place, around 14km south of the city centre, is the only accommodation with a real backpacker vibe around Gaborone. It has everything from comfortable rondavels (round huts with conical huts) and attractive chalets to good campsites (you can use your own tent or rent one) and four-bed dorms.
It’s an excellent alternative to staying in the city centre and handy for the Mokolodi Nature Reserve, 1km away.
