LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — RECENTLY DECRIMINALISED

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.

About this place Gabz Airport Inn

Gabz Airport Inn is a small hotel on the airport side of Gaborone, convenient for late arrivals and early departures at Sir Seretse Khama International. It is a mainstream inn that welcomes gay guests, not a gay venue. It has only a few Google reviews, though they average 4.8. We hold no detail on rooms, meals or transfers, so phone ahead to confirm rates and whether airport pick-up is offered. Botswana decriminalised same-sex relations in 2019, but public attitudes are still conservative, and discretion is the norm.
