Pula Lounge
★3.0(3 reviews)GBE · Main Terminal · airside
Gaborone's broadest-access lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance or pay-in.
Pula Lounge is the headline lounge at Sir Seretse Khama International in Gaborone, sitting airside in the Main Terminal near gates 1–3 after you clear passport control and security. It's the most flexible way in at GBE: DragonPass and Priority Pass members are welcome, Star Alliance Gold and Star Alliance business-class passengers can use it, and it's purchasable for pay-in guests. The space leans on warm, earthy tones inspired by Botswana's natural landscapes, with wooden accents, soft ambient lighting and a mix of communal seating and quieter nooks. Large windows look out over the tarmac and runway. A hot and cold buffet, complimentary snacks and a full bar with house wine, beer and liquor round out the offer. Because it covers the widest set of access types, it's the default recommendation for most travellers departing Gaborone, subject to the two-hour maximum stay.
Crowding · generally calm
A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, charging stations, shared computer access and printing. Fine for email and light work, though the two-hour limit means it isn't for long working sessions.

A hot and cold spread with complimentary snacks, plus a full bar serving house wine, beer and liquor and a range of hot and cold soft drinks. Vegetarian options and fruit are available. It's a generous self-service offer for a regional gateway lounge.
