Symponia is one of the nicest options for a stay outside of Ghanzi, ideally located if you are travelling to or coming from Maun. It’s clean and neat and offers all the basic amenities you need in what could be otherwise described as the middle of nowhere, with few other decent options to consider.
Symponia Guesthouse is a stopover on a long stretch of the A3 from either direction. It’s simple but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay including a spacious room with air-conditioning, WiFi and a full ensuite bathroom. There’s also a swimming pool and a restaurant offering dinner on request.
It’s small with only eight rooms and six campsites. The large paved swimming pool is a central focal point and in the distance, nothing but the wide open spaces and bushveld of the Kalahari Desert filled with the drone of insect life and pleasant song of the many birds.
You’ll appreciate the good night’s rest and the local hospitality before you head off again. Symponia Guesthouse is an affordable stay and, while only mid-range in standard, gets considerably more stars for cleanliness and appeal.
You’re likely here on a stopover between destinations which means that your time here is short but if you feel up to something, visit the small town of Ghanzi (only 7km away), take a drive to explore the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the surrounds.
The atmosphere here is one that lulls you into a state of relaxation, so really you need not feel like you have to do anything here, except sit and enjoy nature with a splash in the pool come midday and stargazing come nightfall.
