What people say

We had a fantastic stay at the Residence. After a rough 12-day-trip through Botswana, we were delighted with the overwhelming luxurous feeling of this hotel. The staff is very friendly, their personal touch and attention for meticulous details makes it one of the best hotels we've stayed in. It is not in the center, but Lucky, the driver, was so friendly to drive us to the store we wanted to visit. Also, the food was very good. I would definitely return to this hotel.
