“What struck me most was the unexpected tranquility; set amid extensive gardens, the location feels wonderfully removed from Gaborone's business center, despite its proximity. I think families will particularly appreciate the thoughtful accommodations and recreational facilities. Dining here seems a strong point too, with buffet and à la carte options providing real flexibility.”
