I stopped for 2 nights on a short trip to Gaberone. The hotel is just a short ride from the Mokolodi Game Reserve and you have lots of domestic animals around you at your stay. I got a 2 bed cabin by myself. It was decorated in true African style with antilope hides instead of rugs. The bathroom was across... More

My wife and I had a private twin unit with private bath (but bathroom was located in an adjacent building). Our daughter had a chalet unit that had a shared bath (also in a separate building). All accommodations including the bathrooms were immaculate. A really nice touch was the hot water bottle each night (June is winter in the southern... More

I stayed at Mokolodi Backpackers for a week whilst I was in Botswana and I had a really great time. It is very true that it is more like an affordable guest house than a backpackers but there were still one or two nights spent meeting other travellers around the braai so it has a bit of that backpacker vibe....

We were camping here for a couple of nights and enjoyed ourselves very much. The bathrooms were the best and cleanliest we had on our whole trip through Bots and the place was very peaceful. The ladies working there were super friendly and helpful, the location is beautiful and the nature reserve in walking distance. The only drawback was that... More

Living and working in Gaborone, but was looking for a place to stay for 6 weeks with my partner during a transition period. Saw Mokolodi Backpackers on TripAdvisor - didnt really fancy spendng so long in a backpackers, but went for a look anyway because it was highly rated. Indeed, this isn't your typical Backpackers. Peaceful and relaxed, with a... More

We spent 5 days in the backpackers with Hendrick, owner and host! We felt really welcome and part of the family. The place is spotless and extremely comfortable - accommodation is in thatched roof rondavels. The peace and quiet is delicious. It is self catering - this can be a problem if you are without transport. Hendrick very kindly ran... More

We would recommend to anyone Mokolodi Backpackers. Hendrik and his team really went the extra mile. The chalet we stayed in was neat, clean and the decor very beautiful. It is really value for money. You really can't call it a backpackers, it is truely more like a very affordable guesthouse.

My partner and I stayed at Makolodi Backpackers for 2 nights. We chose the most expensive option. For Pula 172.5 per person per night, we got our own rondawel with 2 single beds, a seperate kitchenette, and outside toilet & shower. All Very Very clean. The staff were very friendly,considerate and helpful. Hats off to Hendrick and his team, we'll... More

The room was nice enough, but two single beds instead of a double. It also had a tv and VCR that didn't work. The reception lady was helpful, but when had a problem paying by credit card we had to phone the owner/manager who was away at the time. He was not very friendly or helpful. Clean bathrooms, and good... More
