Although there is no grading system, all hotels generally maintain a reasonable standard, particularly those in main centres in the east of the country. The largest number of hotels and motels are in or near Gaborone, Francistown Kasane and Maun, some with air-conditioning, swimming pools and facilities for films, bands and entertainment. Many other hotels have fairly basic amenities. The majority of the safari lodges are found in the Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve and Okavango Delta and there are a few lodges and camps in the Makgadikgadi Pans and Tuli Block.
Standards are generally high, with luxury and comfort being the order of the day.
Some lodges are permanent structures but the majority are tented. The tents are luxurious and spacious with en-suite facilities. Most lodges only accommodate between 10-28 people so the accent is on personalised service. Along the banks of the Chobe river near Kasane, there are also luxury hotels and lodges. It is recommended to spend at least two nights at each lodge and do a circuit of the various tourist regions in the country.
