Revisiting Palapye (and indeed Botswana) after more than 20 years, went with a mixed group of family and friends for lunch, and everybody was more than happy with the atmosphere, setting, food and service - and prices! The young kids also had an extensive play area where they made new friends. Although initially uncertain about the absence of alcohol, the very chilled atmosphere is no doubt in part a consequence of this, and to be honest an plus overall. Overall a thoroughly pleasant experience for us all - thank you!

An oasis of tranquility...where you get fed too, deliciously. What more could you ask for! Relaxing atmosphere. Can see all the hard work that went into setting up such a great service, most of it with their own hands. Definately on my todo list when back in Botswana!

The garden surroundings are tranquil and beautiful. The owners are passionate about what they do. The friendly and helpful staff make the experience a memorable one.
Will definitely recommend and will visit again.

Absolutely lovely place with a great atmosphere, lovely staff, and delicious food. Had the best milkshakes I’ve had in Botswana, the salted caramel was my favorite!

Bonita Gardens is one of those hidden gems that people talk about that will not disappoint. It is a slice of heaven in Palapye. The food is so delicious, the gardens are spectacular but it’s the service and friendliness that make it a memorable experience.
Big generous sized meals left us full and satisfied, everything we ordered was delicious, especially the ribs and the Bonita burger. I was surprised I had room for dessert which ended up being the BEST waffle I’ve ever had, period! What was really impressive is the speed in which the meals came out. They came out fresh and we didn’t feel rushed at all.
Bonita Gardens is a place where you’ll be treated like a vip, and the staff and owners are some of the nicest and friendliest people we’ve come across anywhere!
We will ALWAYS make the 3hr drive from Gaborone to Palapye each time we come to Botswana! Keep up the good work guys and can’t wait to see you guys soon!

I've always enjoyed their very fresh carrot cake and cinnamon rolls. Today I got to enjoy their fresh warm juicy Bonita burger. Totally worth it. 10/5.

We really enjoyed the place and the food is great with friendly staff! I recommend the 1kg BBQ ribs with Malawi Shandy, and a slice of carrot cake on the side!
