Nthula Lounge (International)
★3.4(13 reviews)GBE · Main Terminal · airside
Morula-tree-themed airside calm for international departures — DragonPass or pay-in.
Nthula Lounge (International) is the airside international lounge at Sir Seretse Khama International in Gaborone, located straight ahead after passport control and security in the Main Terminal. It's reachable on DragonPass and is purchasable for pay-in guests. The lounge takes its name and design cues from Botswana's indigenous Morula tree, creating a tranquil atmosphere with warm earthy tones, natural wood accents and soft, indirect lighting. Comfortable leather armchairs and plush sofas are arranged in intimate groupings for relaxation or quiet conversation, and gentle African-inspired music plays at a low volume. Local cultural elements — woven wall hangings and pottery displays — give the space a distinctly Botswana character, while large windows over the tarmac keep it airy. Massage chairs, a bar with house wine and beer, complimentary snacks and fruit, and premium drinks for sale round out the offer. A two-hour maximum stay applies.
