Now you can experience the ultimate African adventure in Gaborone, Botswana, by staying at The Big Five Lodge. Come and enjoy the beauty, tranquility, comfort, and serene environment that The Big Five Lodge has to offer. The lodge is located just 10 minutes from the CBD, near the airport in Gaborone, Botswana.

Gaborone is the capital city of Botswana and the fastest growing city on the African continent. It is a vibrant, if small, sprawling modern city that provides souvenir shops, restaurants and services that visitors, drawn to Botswana for its abundant wildlife, will need. There are also a few sights to see and excursions to enjoy for those who only have a day or two in which to experience the country.

The Big Five Lodge gives you the opportunity of staying in a city while you experience the warm heart of Africa, and is the ideal stop over if you are on your way to explore the rest of Botswana.

Our thatched chalets are spacious and air-conditioned, and feature en-suite bathrooms. Our rooms range from Single to Double and Family Rooms and are equipped to meet the needs of the most discerning visitor. The rooms have been individually designed and decorated with natural colours and fabrics to create a warm and elegant ambience, and are also equipped with satellite TVs and telephones.

In addition, The Big Five Lodge offers a restaurant, bar, and a swimming pool. Secure parking is also available for residents. The staff of the Big Five Lodge pride themselves on friendly, efficient service.

Bad service and a serious lack of maintenance. What you order at the restaurant is not what you get on your plate. Not worth the price charged. There are plenty of better places for the same price.

I recently spent a week at the Big 5 Lodge while attending a workshop. The chalet was lovely and comfortable and contained all amenities (air-conditioner, TV, fridge,desk, armchair, en-suite bathroom, comfortable bed). The pool was great,bar and restaurant service good, and staff friendly and helpful. Conference rooms were promptly serviced before and during breaks, and kept supplied with water, etc. Room service was prompt and the food was okay. Unfortunately it was difficult getting timeous response to queries/requests/complaints.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Big 5 Lodge in Botswana. The staff are fantastic and the facilities are good both for short business stays and conferencing. Accommodation is comfortable but the bathrooms need an upgrade - this is usually a big put off for me but altogether, a reasonable value for money option if you are going to Gabs.


Establishment's response

I have seen your comment and thank you so much to alert us management on issues that are out of vision and we highly commend you for that, and we hope to upgrade our facility as soon as possible to meet the clintelle needs.

Really nice establishment, however in need of some maintenance. Changed rooms twice, once because AC didn't work then because lights didn't work. Beautiful poolside but restaurant has a very small menu and even then somethings were not available. Personnel were very friendly.
