Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Sir Seretse Khama International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at GBE

Sir Seretse Khama International Airport is connected to Gaborone and the wider Botswana transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Taxi

Private, shared, and minivan-style "combi" taxis are hired in the ground transportation area; no confirmed fare figure was found, so booking through a hotel or an official counter rather than an unmarked car is the safer route.

Rideshare

Uber does not operate in Botswana. Bolt launched in Gaborone in 2024 and is the best-known ride-hailing option for visitors; local apps Yame and inDriver may also be available.

Car Rental

On-site rental options are listed by third-party booking sites (including KK Leisure Car Rentals), though a confirmed in-terminal desk list wasn't found — check directly with your preferred chain in advance.

Insider tip

Bolt is the most straightforward ride-hailing option for a visitor; if taking a taxi, use an official counter or one arranged through your hotel rather than an unmarked car.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Sir Seretse Khama International Airport website before travel.

Ground Transport Tips for GBE

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.
If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.
Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Gaborone city traffic can significantly extend journey times.
Download offline maps for Gaborone before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.
If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
