LIST OF GRADED TOURIST ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES

228

Foreword from the Chief Executive Officer

t is with pleasure that we publish yet another booklet for Botswanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graded tourist accommodation facilities.

This grading and classification of accommodation facilities is done in accordance with the developed and approved Botswana Bureau of Standards specifications, which are briefly described under Grading Standards on this issue. The results of graded accommodation establishments stand as confirmation that Botswana offers travellers accommodation options of quality and repute. The results further indicate a general improvement on the level of service quality offered by our facilities since the last grading exercise, with more facilities using the mentorship programme offered by Botswana Tourism Organisation to improve on their facilities further. Some facilities do not appear in this publication due to various factors such as on-going refurbishments and/or upgrading, or pending re-assessment. This accommodation guide is both essential and useful to all visitors, local or international. The results of graded facilities are also found on our website, www.botswanatourism.co.bw, where there is an opportunity to view all graded establishments on an interactive Map of Botswana. In order to assist the industry to improve further, kindly give us feedback by completing the Questionnaire/ Feedback form posted on the website. I hope you will take time to experience the beauty that Botswana has to offer, the flora and fauna, culture, heritage, and other fascinating beauties found nowhere else but in Botswana.

I trust you will find this publication very useful.

Thank you, kea leboga.

Botswana Star Grading System Introduction The grading system serves as a useful tool in indicating to travel agents, tour operators and tourists the general quality levels of accommodation facilities in an area as a basis for deciding which facilities to select before tourists start a journey to any particular destination. The system also provides a framework to industry investors in designing their facilities to attract the desired market groups. Basically, the role of grading is to protect the consumer and for the accommodation establishment to benchmark their performance against set standards. The Botswana Star Grading System is used to differentiate the various quality levels of accommodation establishments, it provides judgements on the amenities, facilities and services of particular accommodation in a way that enables travellers to choose the quality of accommodation they want. The system is mandatory for all types of enterprises. The system applies objectivity obtained from the Grading standards and subjectivity obtained from the Grading Criteria. It is the combination of these two documentations that evaluate whether the establishment is fit for purpose as intended, thus ensuring an accommodation establishment qualifies for a Star Grading having achieved an acceptable average score. The guiding principles for the establishment of the Botswana Star Grading System are : • • • • • • • • • •

A marketing and quality assurance tool based on international recognised ratings. Aids accommodation establishments to benchmark their performance against set Standards. Serves as a pledge to commitment to quality, standards and service. Allows for consumer confidence and choice. Benefits of Graded Facilities Recognised both nationally and internationally, for their commitment to standards and service within the hospitality industry, hence, assisting establishments in positioning their products. Displaying of plaques issued by the Botswana Tourism Organisation. Displaying of grading certificates issued by the Organisation inside their establishments. Listed on the Botswana Tourism Organization’s website with a hyperlink to the individual property. Listed on the annual accommodation guide by location and star rating. Participation at the marketing fairs through Botswana Tourism Organisation.

Grading standards FACILITIES TO BE GRADED All tourist enterprises licensed under the Tourism Act of 2009 shall be graded in accordance with the provisions of the Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) Act, 2009. These include all facilities throughout the country such as hotels, guesthouses, lodges and self catering establishments. Facilities therefore have to meet minimum licensing requirements. The grading system is compulsory and it is conducted bi-annually. The system consists of a rating from 1 to a 5 star facility. • • • • •

•

One Star facility offers fair to good (acceptable/modest) quality in the overall standard of furnishings, service and guest care. Two Star facility offers good quality in the overall standard of furnishings, service and guest care. Three Star offers very good quality in the overall standard of furnishings, service and guest care. Four Star offers superior (excellent) comfort and quality with a high standard of furnishings, service and guest care. Five Star facility offers an exceptional quality and luxurious accommodation with highest standard of furnishings, flawless service and meticulous guest care. Grade Pending includes facilities which may have no award, new facilities, or those whose certificates have expired and are due for re-grading.

GRADING ASSESSORS Botswana Tourism Organisation has employed a team of trained grading assessors who have undergone internationally recognized training in the principles and etiquette of grading. Refresher courses are conducted intermittently. The grading assessors are Joyce Bose Morontshe, Richard Mafila Malesu, Tshepho F. Mmokele, Kegomoditswe Onyana Modikwe, Ferdinand Sebinyane, Masego Moakofhi, Thatayaone Mmapatsi, Messiah Matolela, Tshoganetso Carl-Ponoesele, Keotshepile Mphusu and Thabang Segaetsho. QUALITY ASSURANCE COMMITTEE The recommendation of the Grading team is ratified by the Quality Assurance Committee. The committee is appointed in terms of the provisions of the Botswana Tourism Organisation Act of 2009 for a period of two years, eligible for re-appointment. The committee has the power to suspend, revoke, cancel, and refuse to issue or renew grading certificates. All members of the committee possess special expertise in the field of tourism.

GABORONE

Gaborone is the capital City of Botswana and the main attraction of this region. It is often described as Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing city. it is a vibrant and colourful city, which lies in the flat vallley betwen Kgale and Oodi hills, on the Notwane River in the south eastern corner of Botswana, 15km from the South African border at Tlokweng.

nce proudly referred to as “Africa’s fastest growing city,” Botswana’s capital, Gaborone, has been – since its inception – continually expanding, to the point that now the sprawling urban centre of some 300 000 residents has become nearly unrecognizable from the tiny, dusty administrative town it was at the country’s independence in 1966. From the end of the nineteenth century, until 1963, tiny ‘Gaberones’ Village, as the town was then called, consisted of only a small settlement on the railway line and a small administrative centre in the area now called ‘The Village.’ The land between both settlements was Crown land, but was used by the people of the neighbouring village of Tlokweng as a cattle grazing area. Britain’s Bechuanaland protectorate (established in 1885) had its main administrative centre in Mafeking (now Mafikeng), in South Africa, just over the current Ramatlabama Border. As plans developed for the country’s independence, it was clear it would need an administrative town within its political boundaries. Bechuanaland was the only territory in the world whose administrative centre lay outside its boundaries. Nine possible sites were suggested: Mahalapye, Shashe, Francistown, Serowe, Artesia, Lobatse, Gaborone, Maun and a point within the Tuli Block. Gaborone was chosen because of its strategic location, its proximity to the to the railway line and Pretoria, its already established administrative offices, its accessibility to most of the major tribes, its non-association with any particular tribe, and most importantly, its closeness to a major water source. The city was named after Kgosi Gaborone, leader of the Batlokwa people, who migrated from their ancestral homelands in the Magaliesberg Mountains and in 1881 settled in the Tlokweng area (then called Moshaweng). Gaborone literally means ‘it does not fit badly’ or ‘it is not unbecoming.” Once plans for the city had been drawn up, technical experts from several European countries were brought in to assist with the

planning and building of the town; and architects, artisans, supervisors and labourers were brought in from surrounding areas in Botswana, and from Southern Rhodesia. In mid-1963, construction on the Gaborone Dam began, while work on the town itself commenced in early 1964. In eighteen months, the new capital emerged from the African bush. By the time it was completed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; incidentally nearly on time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it boasted National Assembly buildings, Government office blocks, a power station, a hospital, schools, radio station, an airfield, a telephone exchange, police stations, a post office, banks, shops, a church, a hotel, a brewery, a stadium grandstand, a dam, and more than one thousand houses. Indeed the basic infrastructure was in place for Independence Day on 30thSeptember 1966, when Bechuanaland became the eleventh British territory in Africa to become independent. Since then the city has grown into a modern, bustling government, commercial and industrial centre, now incorporating the neighbouring villages of Tlokweng and Mogoditshane, and with housing estates, industrial estates and financial centres radiating from its centre. Gaborone gained city status in 1986. Twenty-first century Gaborone now boasts four, large American-style malls, replete with cinema complexes, a host of hotels, guest houses and restaurants, an international airport, a cultural centre, discos and nightclubs, a national museum and art gallery, as well as two golf courses and other sports facilities. What makes Gaborone so unique, however, is that the visitor can enjoy all the familiar modern conveniences of home, but can gain entry into rural Africa, or wildlife areas, within minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; having then the best of both possible worlds.

San Camp

(Grade Pending)

A luminescent white tented camp on the edge of a pan. There is nothing quite so romantic in its simplicity as San Camp – nothing so serene. The activities, cuisine and guides are the same as at Jack’s – only the base of the safari differs. San Camp is slightly smaller than Jack’s – and so ideal for small groups wanting exclusivity.

Chobe Region

kasane Kasane is the administrative centre of the Chobe District and the northern entrance to the Chobe National Park. Not too long ago Kasane was a remote and forgettable small village. However, its strategic location along the main tourist routes (meeting point of four countries - Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia) has led to rapid expansion in recent years. Six kilometres east of Kasane is tiny Kazungula, which serves as the landing for the Kazungula Ferry between Botswana and Zambia. Situated in the northeast, Kasane is a bustling little town offering trouble-free access to the Chobe National Park. As there are no boundary fences between the park and the village, game such as elephant and hippo can frequently be seen wandering down the road and through the Kasane campsites.

Francistown

As one of the oldest towns in Botswana and site of southern Africa’s first gold rush, Francistown, home to 92,500 people, is a typical frontier town, strategically placed as the gateway to the north, with all the main roads to Zimbabwe, and Kazungula passing through it. It manages to maintain its character despite being Botswana’s secondlargest urban centre and “Capital of the North”.

History of Francistown

ne of Botswana’s oldest towns, Francistown was the centre of southern Africa’s first gold rush. It came to prominence through European prospectors’ discovery and mining of gold in the region in the mid 19th century, first at Tatitown (about 50 kilometres from Francistown), and later at Francistown itself (at Monarch Mine, recently revived). Gold had been mined by Africans living in the region for generations before. Indeed the wealth and prosperity which the region’s gold deposits have brought stretches as far back as the 12th to 14th centuries. The city was named after the British prospector and miner Daniel Francis, who acquired prospecting licenses in 1869, eventually becoming director of the Tati Concessions Company. Francis and other prospectors often used ancient gold shafts as guiding points for their prospecting, or they simply carried on the mining which had been started in those shafts generations ago. The city is still surrounded by old, abandoned mines. The original town was founded as a settlement near Monarch mine in 1897, consisting of only one main street lined with bustling saloons and supply stores running parallel to the railway line, which was established by British entrepreneur Cecil Rhodes as a vital link between South Africa and Britain’s northern colonies. Situated 436 kilometres north of Gaborone, Francistown is the country’s second largest city, and an industrial and transport hub, with a railway line leading north to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The main road northwest of Francistown gives passage to Maun and the Okavango Delta, Kasane and Chobe National Park, Livingstone, Zambia and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Francistown is currently under-going an economic boom, mostly due to the recent resuscitation of gold mining; this has given new life to the property and transport sectors, with the accompanying infrastructural additions and developments. Over the years, Francistown (population approximately 115000) has undergone continual expansion and modernisation, to the point that much of its original dusty frontier town atmosphere has disappeared. Modern malls, shops, hotels, restaurants, housing developments and industrial complexes now dominate the city, with some old, colonial buildings still to be seen in the city centre. Yet colourful, distinctively African local markets dot the city, and pleasant parks give it a userfriendly feeling. A lively nightclub scene showcases good local music and dance.

Kgalagadi and Ghanzi Region

ghanzi GHANZI Ghanzi - also known as “The capital of the Kalahari” must be one of Botswana’s most intriguing towns - situated in the middle of nowhere and separated from the rest of the world by hundreds of kilometres of road. The first and probably major impression you will have of the interminable journey from to Ghanzi is the sheer monotony of the landscape. For the most part the terrain is flat and featureless, with some scrub bushes, thorn trees and grasslands. In the summer the heat is sweltering, in winter the drive is made more tolerable by cooler temperatures. The road is excellent tarmac. There is a strange fascination to it all - and subtle, unexpected variations in terrain. There is also beauty to be found in the eerie sunsets and in the desert night’s overwhelming canopy of stars.

WHAT TO wear In summer, lightweight, light-coloured cottons are preferable. Garments of neutral colours that blend with the bush and forest are advisable for safaris and game viewing. Avoid synthetic materials and black clothing, as they increase perspiration and discomfort. Bring a lightweight jacket and/or jersey for unexpected temperature changes or rain. In winter, wear trousers, long-sleeved shirts / blouses and jerseys. From May â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August, night temperatures can fall below zero degrees celsius, so warm jerseys and jackets are vital, especially on morning and evening game drives. Closed, comfortable walking shoes or gym shoes are a must in all seasons. Special attention should be given to protection from the sun. Bring a sunhat, good quality sunscreen, sun lotion and polarised sunglasses. Wide brimmed hats are preferable to baseball caps.

Police permits for firearms are issued by: Central Arms, The Registry P O Box 334, Gaborone. Tel: +267 391-4202, +267 391-4106

DIAMOND PURCHASE Visitors to Botswana have the opportunity to purchase diamond jewellery from authorised dealers. A strict certification system is in place to inform the buyer of the origin of the diamond, and the stated value and quality is verified. Botswana is one of the healthiest countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with good primary health care facilities available throughout the country. However, the following health precautions are advised.

HEALTH Travel insurance It is essential for visitors to remote areas of Botswana to have a comprehensive medical insurance policy, to provide coverage for the treatment of serious illnesses/accidents, and if required, medical evacuation. Personal effects insurance is also advisable. Check that your insurance policy will be accepted by service providers in Botswana. Ensure that you are treated by licensed medical personnel to enable you to provide your insurance company with appropriate documentation and receipts. Reasonably priced medical services are available at government clinics and hospitals throughout the country. Private medical practitioners are available in the cities and major towns, such as Gaborone, Francistown and Maun. Gaborone Private Hospital is the largest private hospital in Botswana. The hospital requires medical coverage, or cash payment in advance where medical coverage is not available. Drinking water Tap water throughout the country is safe to drink. Bottled mineral water is readily available in most shops and supermarkets, and at camps and lodges. Tourists travelling by road are advised to carry sufficient water at all times.

Entry Requirements

HIV/AIDS Visitors are advised to take the necessary precautions against HIV/AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Malaria Malaria, including cerebral malaria, is common in northern Botswana, in the Okavango and Chobe areas, particularly during and immediately following the rainy season, from November to April. As the strains of malaria, and the drugs used to combat them, frequently change, and as certain strains can become drug resistant, it is best to seek medical advice before your departure and take any medication prescribed. Pregnant or very young children are not advised to travel to malarial areas. Other precautions are: to wear long sleeves, socks, closed shoes, and generally keep the body covered, to sleep with a mosquito net and to use mosquito coils and repellent. Sun and heat-related problems Always take preventive measures that include wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat and sunglasses, liberally applying sunscreen every three or four hours, regularly taking rehydration mixes, drinking plenty of water and fruit juices (at least three litres of liquid daily), avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, and avoiding excessive amounts of alcohol, which causes dehydration.

SHOPPING All major towns in Botswana, including Maun and Kasane, have shopping centres and supermarkets, and all basic commodities can easily be purchased. Many regional chain stores operate in Botswana. In addition, there are 24-hour convenience shops at most fuel service stations. There is an increasing range of local arts and crafts on sale in Gaborone, Maun and Kasane and other tourist areas; they include Botswanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned worldclass baskets, woodcarvings, jewellery, pottery, tapestries, fabrics and clothing, glassware, and San crafts. Value Added Tax To claim 10% VAT refund for total value of goods purchased, the amount spent should be more than P5000. In such cases, the following is required: a tax invoice stating VAT paid, your passport number and your bank account details. It is always advisable to keep a copy of the VAT form as a record for any follow-up on the transaction. VAT claims usually can be made at all major border posts and airports.

SAFETY The self-drive camper driving the open roads in Botswana should always drive at a reasonable speed, and avoid over-taking, except when absolutely necessary.

Crime Botswana remains a relatively safe place to visit or live. Take the normal precautions you would take anywhere else: Always lock car doors; Always lock hotel rooms; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave valuables in cars or hotel rooms; Take care with your bags in shopping centres and other crowded places, and after coming out of banks or ATM kiosks; Avoid walking alone at night.
