Location and access
At Mahalapye, in Mahalapye. Mahalapye is on the A1 roughly 200 km north of Gaborone. The national register records the ward but not a street address, and we do not invent one.
Mahalapye, and why it is on this site
Mahalapye sits on the A1 roughly halfway between Gaborone and Francistown, at the point where a lot of drives stop being comfortable. It is a railway and administrative town rather than a destination.
Between Gaborone and Palapye there is very little else, and an A1 stopover with a bed and secure parking is worth more to a self-drive traveller than a lodge two hundred kilometres off the route.
Who it suits
- Drivers who left Gaborone late and want a first stop
- Government and railway staff working in Mahalapye
- Contract and project staff needing a room for several nights
- Travellers who want to know a place is licensed before they arrive
