Strategic Location

Why Botswana?

Not all African markets are created equal. Gaborone combines stability, affluence and an educated, international population — an ideal base for a premium sports and wellness club.

Affluent & Growing
20,000+ premium residents in Gaborone's north and CBD — executives, expats, diplomats and young professionals.
Corporate Hub
Regional headquarters for banks, telecoms, mining and insurance groups, driving demand for corporate leagues and memberships.
Educated & Active
35+ private and international schools plus the University of Botswana, creating a young, sports-oriented audience.
Stable & Untapped
One of Africa's most stable democracies — with no premium padel hospitality offering today, giving us a clear first-mover advantage.
