I have stayed at City Lodge for years, enroute from a long overseas flight and onward the next day to Gaborone. The staff is always welcoming, the dinner is relaxing and good, and guidance regarding this or that is always reliable and helpful. And City Lodge's convenience to Tambo is just was I need.
