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? > 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. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Sowa hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Sowa hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Cars - [Central District Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Central-District.d553248635975177387.Hotel-Destinations) - [Gweta Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gweta-Hotels.d553248635976552923.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Letlhakane Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letlhakane-Hotels.d3000001213.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Nata Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nata-Hotels.d6035432.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Guest Houses in Orapa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orapa-Guest-Houses.d553248622907484708-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Orapa Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orapa-Hotels.d553248622907484708.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Nata ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Nata.d6035432.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Nata Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nata.d6035432.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Nata ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nata.dx6035432) - [Orapa Game Park ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orapa-Game-Park-Orapa.d553248622907598964.Attraction) - [Visit Orapa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orapa.dx553248622907484708) - [Car hire Letlhakane ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Letlhakane.d3000001213.Car-Hire-Guide) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
