Indaba Lodge Hotel Gaborone is well known for its huge breakfast offering. Perfect for business meetings or just a hearty breakfast away from home. Our visit couldn't have come at a more perfect time as they launched a new menu just last month.

I would best describe the previous menu as a snack/poolside style menu, very different to the current well thought out versatile menu.

This new menu is diverse, unlike before there are hearty meals available. She has added Pastas, Bream, Goat Stew, BBQ wings along with a bunch if new flavours. In the middle of the restaurant is a long, marble high table that seats 14.
