Symponia Guesthouse & Camping
Family-run guesthouse and campsite 7 km outside Ghanzi beside the A3 to Maun, with air-conditioned rooms that look onto a pool and grassed pitches with power.
Symponia is a guesthouse with a campsite 7 km out of Ghanzi, right beside the A3 on the Maun side of town. It is family-run, and the name comes from a Greek word the owners translate as compassion. It takes both kinds of overlander: those who want a proper bed and a bathroom, and those who want grass to pitch on, with a plug.
What to expect
The rooms are doubles with a full en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, a fridge, tea and coffee, a hairdryer, DStv and WiFi. Each has a patio and looks onto the pool. Dinner is cooked on request, so say so when you book and do not count on walking in to a restaurant.
The campsites are all grassed. Every site has a built braai with a grid, a water tap and 220V electricity and there are ablution facilities for campers. Braai packs can be ordered if you have arrived without meat.
Practical details
- The guesthouse gives its position as 21°39’05.0”S, 21°41’50.6”E.
- Contact is by email, phone or WhatsApp, and the website has a booking page.
- Ghanzi itself is 7 km back down the road.
Good to know
The A3 runs on from here to Maun, about 280 km north-east, so this works well as the last night before the Delta or the first night after it. It sits beside a main road, so do not expect bush silence.
