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.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

About this place Success Capital Organisation

Success Capital Organisation is a youth-led, feminist LGBTIQ+ organisation based in Tlokweng, on Gaborone's eastern edge. Its work centres on research and knowledge production, digital rights and civic advocacy for young queer people in Botswana and the wider Southern African region, and it takes part in national and international human-rights processes. It is an advocacy organisation, not a drop-in centre, so contact goes through its website and social channels. Botswana's courts struck down the laws against same-sex relations in 2019, a ruling upheld on appeal in 2021.
