Mokolodi Restaurant — African Game / Contemporary, Gaborone
Mokolodi Restaurant is set within a 30,000-acre nature sanctuary south of Gaborone, creating memorable experiences where wildlife and fine dining meet. The restaurant is known for its signature dishes including kudu steaks, impala medallions, and authentic African game meat preparations — served in a setting where the game that provides the menu’s ingredients is visible from the dining area.
The game meat programme at Mokolodi is the most complete in Botswana: the kudu, the impala, and the other game species of the surrounding sanctuary prepared with the care of a kitchen that understands that these ingredients require a different approach from domestic beef. The kudu steak in particular is celebrated as among the finest expressions of African game cooking available.
The wine programme draws on South African producers alongside the international selections that a fine dining room of this quality demands.
Mokolodi is the restaurant for Gaborone visits that want the complete Botswana experience: the nature sanctuary setting, the game meat at its finest, and the combination of wildlife encounter and fine dining that is unique to this extraordinary country.
