Mercyfuland is a bed and breakfast of 5 rooms at Palapye. It is on the small side for Palapye: 5 rooms against a median of 6 across 24 registered establishments. The town is the halfway stop on the A1 between Gaborone and Francistown, and the turn-off for Serowe. Bed and breakfasts of this size are usually a household running a few rooms in their own yard, which tends to mean an early breakfast, a gate that is locked at night and someone who actually knows the area.

Location and access
At Palapye, in Palapye. Palapye is on the A1 between Gaborone and Francistown and is the turn-off for Serowe. The national register records the ward but not a street address, and we do not invent one.
Palapye, and why it is on this site
Palapye sits on the A1 between Gaborone and Francistown, at the junction for Serowe and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. It is a coal and university town rather than a tourist one.
For travellers it is a useful place to break the drive, and it is the obvious base for a Khama Rhino Sanctuary visit if you would rather not camp. Several of its properties appear only on the national register and never on a booking channel.
Who it suits
- Drivers breaking the Gaborone to Francistown run on the A1
- Visitors heading west to Serowe and Khama Rhino Sanctuary
- Travellers who prefer a household bed and breakfast to a hotel
- Travellers who want to know a place is licensed before they arrive
