Sesame Guesthouse is a guest house in Selebi-Phikwe, registered with Botswana Tourism as an operating establishment. Selebi-Phikwe was built around the copper-nickel mine and has kept a working-town character since the mine closed, with a steady demand for rooms from people doing business in the east. It is also the practical staging point for the road down to the Tuli Block and the Zanzibar and Platjan border crossings.

Facilities at Sesame Guesthouse
We list no facilities here. The official register records the licence class and address but not the facility detail, and no other verifiable source was available, so anything more would be guesswork.
Location and access
In Selebi-Phikwe, Central District, east of the A1 at Serule and north of the Tuli Block.
Francistown, and why it is on this site
Francistown is Botswana’s second city and a working one: mining, freight and the road and rail routes to Zimbabwe and South Africa. Very few people come here for a holiday, and the accommodation reflects that.
It matters to travellers anyway, because it is the practical overnight between the Tuli Block, the Makgadikgadi and the border posts. Many of its beds are in bed and breakfasts on suburban plots that never appear on an international booking channel.
Who it suits
- People working in Selebi-Phikwe and the eastern copper belt
- Travellers heading south to the Tuli Block
- Drivers using the Zanzibar or Platjan border crossings
- Visitors leaving the A1 at Serule
