Overview
A Calm Start to the Kalahari
Set within the Masa Square development in central Gaborone, offering dependable comfort before and after time in the wild.
Protea Hotel by Marriott Gaborone Masa Square sits within the Masa Square mixed-use development in Botswana's capital, a short drive from Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. Rooms are contemporary and well-equipped, with the reliable, no-surprises standard the Marriott family is known for — a deliberate contrast to the safari camps and mobile tented circuits that follow. For travellers beginning or ending a Botswana circuit through the Central Kalahari, Okavango Delta or Chobe, it offers an easy, comfortable base to adjust before or after the wilderness.
