Onde nós realmente iríamos.
Pula Lounge
The Pula Lounge is the most flexible option at GBE — it's the only lounge here that accepts Priority Pass and Star Alliance status alongside DragonPass, and it sits airside near gates 1–3 after passport control. With a hot and cold spread, a full bar and runway views, it's the default choice for most international departures.
Softlanding Concierge Lounge
The Softlanding Concierge Lounge is the only landside lounge at Gaborone, sitting before security next to the airport prayer room. It carries the widest facility list — a hot buffet, conference room, à la carte menu and luggage storage — making it a strong choice if you arrive early and want to settle before clearing the checkpoint.
Nthula Lounge (Domestic)
The domestic Nthula Lounge sits airside on level 1 with floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning runway views, making it the pick for plane spotters. It's a quiet, relaxed space on DragonPass for travellers flying domestically within Botswana.
Nthula Lounge (International)
The international Nthula Lounge sits airside straight ahead after passport control, themed around Botswana's indigenous Morula tree. On DragonPass, with massage chairs, a bar and snacks, it's a comfortable wait for international flights out of Gaborone.

Como entrar nas salas VIP em GBE.
Gaborone is a DragonPass airport first and foremost — that single membership opens all four lounges. The airside Pula Lounge additionally accepts Priority Pass and Star Alliance Gold (or a Star Alliance business-class ticket). Every lounge is purchasable, so you can also pay to enter; note the two-hour maximum stay that applies across all four.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the single most useful membership at GBE — it's accepted at all four lounges, including the airside Pula, both Nthula lounges, and the landside Softlanding Concierge. If you carry one card here, make it DragonPass.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the airside Pula Lounge, the only lounge at Gaborone in the Priority Pass network. Confirm on the per-lounge page before you travel, as the other three lounges are DragonPass-only.
Priority PassAirline & alliance lounges
There are no dedicated airline-branded lounges at GBE, but Star Alliance Gold members and Star Alliance business-class passengers can use the Pula Lounge. It's the contract lounge that serves alliance travellers passing through Gaborone.
Star AllianceWalk-in / paid entry
All four Gaborone lounges are purchasable, so you can pay to enter without a membership or status. A two-hour maximum stay applies, so time your arrival to suit your departure.

- —DragonPass opens every lounge at Gaborone — it's the better single membership to carry here.
- —Only the airside Pula Lounge adds Priority Pass and Star Alliance access; the other three are DragonPass-only.

Airside vs landside

- —The Softlanding Concierge Lounge is landside, before the checkpoint — handy if you arrive early.
- —Choose airside or landside to match where you'll be in the terminal, as you can't move back once you've cleared security.
Mind the two-hour limit
- —Every Gaborone lounge applies a maximum two-hour stay, so plan your visit around your boarding time.
- —Lounge opening hours vary — the airside lounges open early morning and the landside Softlanding runs latest, to 22:00.

International vs domestic
- —The international Nthula Lounge sits straight ahead after passport control; the domestic Nthula is up on level 1.
- —The domestic Nthula Lounge has the best runway views — a good pick for plane spotting before a domestic hop.
