Many Gaborone business visitors arrive via Johannesburg (OR Tambo) and cross by road at Tlokweng Gate (approximately 3 to 4 hours).

Yes. The departure transfer to GBE uses the same Private Security Industry Regulation Act-licensed driver and operations controller protocol as the inbound.

SADC institutional visitors, World Bank and African Development Bank programme staff, and corporate executives from the retail, banking, and insurance sectors are also regular users. Transfers cover GBE to the Fairgrounds, Diamond Technology Park, SADC headquarters, and principal hotels.
