Facilities at The Secret Place
The register records the licence class, ward and room count but not the facility detail, so we list none here rather than guess at what is on site.
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
- Contract and project staff needing a room for several nights
- Travellers who want to know a place is licensed before they arrive
