This is my second visit to Mowana. The hotel seems very run down. The staff was not very helpful. The hotel restaurant is terrible. The last time we stayed in Mowana was in 2004 and we remeber the hotel being excellent with great service. It seems that new management has not kept up with the previous Mowana Hotel pride. The...

Was here Sept 13-15, 2011 with a group of 33 from Los Angeles, CA. The food was excellent and plentiful and staff very accomodating, rooms were large and comfortable. They were remodeling one of the restaurants, but the outdoor buffet was more than adequate. The lodge is a short drive into Chobe National Park. The highlight of course were the... More

My wife and I stayed here one night and were very pleased. Rooms were great, with nice views. Restaurant was okay but had many options. Safaris were good. Place is much better value than Munchenje (we stayed there 2 nights). Bring your golf clubs, as they have a course. More

So we met a lot of nice people at the hotel. We visited in December and most of the guests were from Botswana or... More

We are here right now and have to say that the lobby and set up at the river is very nice but the whole hotel needs renovation. The people are very helpful but if the aircodition doesn't work it takes a while, if the w-lan doesn't work it takes a day...well if you got time...Food is served buffet-style every day... More

Cresta Mawana was one of the best places that I have stayed in the world. The staff, the grounds, the food, the service was excellent. We 6 nights and enjoyed each one of them. We made many new friends at Mawana, including the General Manager who personally met us and saw us as we left to go home. Such service... More

I went for many bird watching walks in the bush area around the lodge - the bird life was amazing but I... More
