Just a few minutes’ drive from Francistown Airport and centrally situated in the city, Cresta Thapama is a good choice of accommodation in Francistown for tourists and business travellers alike. It is within walking distance of major business centres, shopping malls and the city’s attractions, and yet its proximity to the city’s busy centre does not detract from its peaceful atmosphere.

It has 96 air-conditioned rooms, all of which are en suite and include tea-and coffee-making facilities, radios, televisions, Internet access and telephones. Fine dining can be enjoyed at the restaurant – The Ivory Grill – which serves buffets, and à la carte lunches and dinners, while drinks are served at the cocktail bar – Lenaka Bar. The pool bar next to the main swimming pool also offers light snacks.

A casino offers exciting evening entertainment, while an impressive sports complex featuring two air-conditioned, glass-backed squash courts and a gymnasium will keep fitness enthusiasts happy. For children, there is a splash pool and a playground.
