After years of anticipation, the Oasis Motel announced its grand reopening in Gaborone, Botswana. Established in 1979, this iconic establishment has been a cherished part of Botswana’s hospitality landscape, and now it’s back with a brand new feeling.
The Oasis Motel has a storied past. Since its founding, it has welcomed locals and travellers with open arms. Whether you are a leisure adventurer seeking a resort or a business executive in need of a comfortable stay, the motel’s warm ambience and attentive service have left a lasting impression.
It was an honour to have both General Manager Lorraine Pinagare, and Group Sales and Marketing Manager (Travelodge Hotels) Mr. Gerald Mzwinila for a conversation at Oasis Motel regarding the reopening.
GM Lorraine Pinagare shared her excitement, stating,
“We’ve carefully blended nostalgia with modern comfort, ensuring that our guests will have an unforgettable experience.”
Adjacent to this simplistic motel lies the Oasis Mall, a new shopping complex revered by Tlokweng and surrounding communities for its convenience. The mall offers access to various retail needs, making it an ideal complement to the Oasis Motel experience.

The star of the show, the Oasis Motel, comprises 75 upgraded rooms with Wi-Fi, modern-day charging ports, an outdoor swimming pool, and secure parking with 24-hour security. The revamped conferencing spaces cater to every need, from the largest conference room with a 350-seating capacity to smaller rooms for intimate gatherings. These spaces have been thoughtfully designed for productivity and collaboration.
“And that’s not all!” added Mrs. Pinagare.

“The new state-of-the-art, modern restaurant features coffee and meal stations where our staff will be looking forward to serving you. Whether you’re a business traveller, a family on vacation, or attending a conference, the Oasis Motel promises a rejuvenated experience that combines tradition with innovation.”
As part of the esteemed Travelodge Group, the Oasis Motel combines top-class enthusiasm with genuine Botswana hospitality. Group Sales and Marketing Manager Gerald Mzwinila concluded, “We are looking forward to introducing our rejuvenated property to our local and international guests. We also have a few projects underway in Francistown, Maun, and Letlhakane, which we’ll be seeing the fruits of within the next two to seven years, so stay tuned.”
