Aquarian Tide

Aquarian Tide is a 110-room hotel at Sebele on the northern edge of Gaborone, beside the A1 to Francistown. The hotel puts itself five minutes from Sir Seretse Khama International Airport, and the Sebele and Airport Junction malls are close by. That makes it a practical first or last night in Botswana, or a base for anyone with business on this side of town.

What to expect

Rooms come as standard, queen, twin and family, the family ones being inter-connecting rooms. All have air conditioning you control yourself, a safe, a desk, satellite TV, a shower and free Wi-Fi. The windows are double glazed, which matters with the A1 next door.

The Tides is the hotel’s one restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with tall windows facing the pool and tables outside on the deck. There is a lounge for drinks, and room service runs 24 hours.

The hotel calls its pool the largest freshwater pool in Gaborone. I have not found anyone else measuring. The hotel says it suits laps, and it has a wooden deck with loungers and umbrellas.

Practical details

• Address: Plot 32085, Block 10, Sebele Mall, Gaborone.
• Phone: +267 318 7480 or +267 397 3985.
• The website has an availability form (date, room type, guests, nights) and not a live booking engine.
• The pool area is hired out for functions, from about 20 people.

Good to know

Airport Junction, at the Airport Road and A1 junction, is one of Gaborone’s three largest shopping centres, and its store directory lists supermarkets, pharmacies and chain restaurants, all near the hotel. Ask whether a function is booked at the pool on your dates if you want a quiet evening.
