"We arrived and they were not expecting us even through we had a confirmed booking. After two phone calls the receptionist still couldn't confirm our booking. We waited around and still didn't get anywhere. We then asked to see the room which was unprepared, unaired, smelly, damp, mouldy and sited right next the public toilets next door. The next available town was Maun, another 4 hour drive away so couldn't wait for the receptionist to sort our booking so we left. We feel angry that we had...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sowa?
The best area to stay in Sowa is around the Sowa Pan, particularly for those looking to experience the unique salt pans and wildlife.

This area is defined by the vast, shimmering salt pans, which are a prominent natural feature. Accommodation options here are typically lodges or camps that offer direct access to the pan and its surroundings. The focus is on the natural environment, with activities often revolving around wildlife viewing and experiencing the expansive landscape.

For nature enthusiasts and those seeking a distinctive safari experience, this area is ideal. You'll be perfectly positioned for guided excursions onto the salt pans, especially during the dry season when the landscapes are most dramatic. Birdwatchers will appreciate the opportunities to spot flamingos and other aquatic birds when the pan holds water.

Couples looking for a unique and tranquil getaway will also find the Sowa Pan area appealing.
When is the best time to go to Sowa?
The best time to visit Sowa, Central District, Botswana is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, with clear skies and less humidity. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities, especially game drives and exploring the natural salt pans without the hindrance of heavy rains. The drier conditions also mean wildlife gathers around fewer water sources, making them easier to spot.

For those interested in birdwatching, the shoulder months of April and November can also be excellent. The landscapes are greener, and migratory birds are often present, adding to the local species.
