Woodlands Stop Over & Lodge
Caravan or Camping Accommodation In Francistown
WOODLANDS STOP OVER AND LODGE'S tranquil, out of the noisy city, location
makes it an ideal destination for a few days or a quick stop over en-route to
the Okavango Swamps, Chobe Game Reserve, Central Kalahari, Makgadigadi Pans,
Botswana National Parks, Victoria Falls & other northern Zimbabwe destinations.
Situated on the beautiful banks of the Tati River about 10km north of
Francistown off A3 Nata/Maun Road. We are sited on the OLD HUNTERS' ROAD. An
historic route travelled by hunters, explorers and missionaries of yesteryear.
Plan to stay with us a few days & let us organise day trips to various
interesting spots in & around this area, or just stop to break the long journey
for those exploring the northern territory of Botswana, returning home and for
those wanting to be safely off the roads before dark.
Francistown International Airport is 10Kms from us and transfers can be arranged
on special request.
We are a self-catering establishment.
WiFi is available to all resident guests.
Our facilities include:
Campsite chalets (6) sleep two in each. There are no cooking or en-suite
facilities in these rooms. You would make use of the central ablution facility.
Each unit has its own braai area and there is parking adjacent to each room.
Complimentary tea & coffee.
Deck room (1) sleeps two in beautiful teak framed beds. Also making use of the
central ablution facility. Its secluded position nestled at the bottom of the
campsite makes for complete privacy whilst overlooking the river. A private
braai area is in front of the unit and parking is adjacent to the room.
Complimentary tea & coffee.
