About Hotels in Botswana

Botswana is one of Africa's most remarkable destinations, celebrated for its commitment to low-impact, high-quality tourism and its extraordinary wilderness. Visitors are drawn by the vast waterways of the Okavango Delta, the sweeping red dunes and ancient riverbeds of the Kalahari, and the enormous elephant herds of Chobe. The country enjoys sunny skies for much of the year, with the dry season from April to October offering prime game-viewing conditions and comfortable daytime temperatures.

Accommodation in Botswana ranges from intimate tented camps deep in the Okavango to well-appointed lodges along the Chobe River and comfortable guesthouses and hotels in Gaborone. Whether you seek a remote wilderness retreat, a riverside lodge in Kasane, or a welcoming base in Maun before heading into the delta, Botswana offers exceptional stays to suit every style of adventure.

Best Places to Stay in Botswana

Maun

Gateway to the Okavango Delta, Maun offers mokoro excursions, wildlife safaris, and a lively atmosphere on the banks of the Thamalakane River.

Chobe National Park

Home to Africa's largest elephant population, Chobe delivers breathtaking boat safaris along the Chobe River and spectacular big-game encounters at every turn.

Kasane

Nestled where four countries meet, Kasane is the perfect base for exploring Chobe, with superb river cruises, birdwatching, and unforgettable sunset game drives.

Gaborone

Botswana's welcoming capital blends vibrant local markets, the excellent National Museum, and a warm, accessible atmosphere ideal for first-time visitors to the country.

How to Choose the Right Destination in Botswana

Safari vs Town

For immersive wilderness and wildlife, head to the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, or the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. For cultural experiences and urban comforts, Gaborone and Francistown provide excellent hospitality and local character.

Seasonal Considerations

The dry season (May to October) is peak safari time, with sparse vegetation and animals gathering at waterholes, though demand and prices are highest. The green season (November to April) brings lush landscapes and newborn wildlife, with fewer visitors across the Okavango and Kalahari regions.

Transport & Accessibility

Gaborone and Maun are served by international and regional flights, making them convenient entry points. Remote safari camps in the Okavango Delta or Chobe area typically require light aircraft transfers or lengthy but scenic road journeys, so plan connections carefully.

Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Botswana

  • Book two to three months ahead for the dry season safari peak, roughly May to October, to secure the best rates.
  • Consider staying in villages near major reserves such as Maun or Kasane for far better value than lodge interiors.
  • Look for packages that include breakfast or half-board, as remote safari camps often charge significantly extra for meals.
  • Always check for free cancellation policies, as weather and wildlife conditions in Botswana can prompt itinerary changes.
  • Compare prices across multiple dates, as mid-week arrivals during shoulder months like April or November are often cheaper.
  • Join hotel and lodge loyalty programmes where available to access exclusive member rates and priority booking perks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botswana's standout destinations include the Okavango Delta for extraordinary safari camps and water-based wildlife encounters, Chobe National Park for legendary elephant herds along the river, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve for vast, remote wilderness. The capital, Gaborone, suits those wanting a comfortable urban base, while Kasane serves as a handy gateway to northern parks and the Chobe riverfront.
Budget accommodation is available mainly in Gaborone and larger towns such as Maun and Kasane, where guesthouses and smaller lodges offer affordable rooms. Safari camps in the Okavango Delta and Chobe tend to be premium, though some seasonal or community-run bush camps offer more modest pricing. Travelling in the green season, roughly November to March, can bring lower rates across a range of properties.
Botswana is one of Africa's finest safari destinations. The Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers mokoro canoe trips and walking safaris. Chobe National Park hosts one of the largest elephant populations on earth. The Moremi Game Reserve rewards visitors with exceptional predator sightings, while the Makgadikgadi Pans provide a uniquely stark landscape famous for zebra migrations and meerkats.
Families travelling with children often find Kasane and the Chobe riverfront a welcoming introduction, with boat safaris that suit all ages. Maun acts as a relaxed base for exploring the delta and offers family-friendly lodges. The Makgadikgadi Pans area, including properties near Gweta, combines open landscapes with accessible wildlife activities such as guided quad-bike rides and meerkat walks that children particularly enjoy.
Hotel prices in Botswana are generally lowest during the green season, from November to March, when rainfall is higher and wildlife is less concentrated. This period suits travellers on a budget, as lodges and camps often reduce their rates significantly. The landscape is lush and birdlife exceptional at this time, and popular areas such as the Okavango Delta and Chobe are far quieter, making it an appealing option for those seeking value.
Botswana is not a traditional city-break destination, but its capital Gaborone offers a pleasant base with good restaurants, galleries, and the National Museum. Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta, has a lively frontier charm worth a day or two of exploration. Most visitors combine a short stay in town with safari camps or river lodges, so even a brief trip can feel richly varied and rewarding.
Many hotels and lodges in Botswana do offer free cancellation, particularly in the towns of Gaborone and Maun where standard hotel properties are more common. Remote safari camps and exclusive bush lodges, however, often apply stricter cancellation policies given their limited capacity and high demand during peak season. Always read the terms carefully before booking and consider travel insurance to protect against unforeseen changes to your plans.
Gaborone is the most booked city, offering comfortable hotels and easy access to the Mokolodi Nature Reserve. Maun is hugely popular as the jumping-off point for Okavango Delta safaris, with a range of lodges to suit different budgets. Kasane, near Chobe National Park, and Francistown in the north-east are also well-visited. Browse our individual city pages for hotel listings and local guides to help plan your stay.
