Nata Bird Sanctuary
Located 17 kms south of Nata Village, the sanctuary was established
in the early 1990's on the north eastern edge of Sowa Pan.
The sanctuary is a community project and a refuge for wildlife around
Sua Pan including various species of antelope such as hartebeest, kudu,
reedbuck, springbok and steenbok - and springhares, jackals, foxes,
monkeys and squirrels.
Eland, gemsbok and zebra are being re-introduced, and current plans
include engineering a permanent water hole, which will be filled with
pumped water from the Nata riverbed
Nata Sanctuary is home to more than 165 bird species including flamingoes * kingfisher* ostrich* eagles
* bustards* pelicans
Birding Spots &
Attractions
- Sowa Pan with its unique beauty and beaches of
rolled quartz pebbles also offers good birding opportunities.
- Sowa Spit - Botswana's soda ash industry mines
on part of the pan.
- Eastern Ntwetwe Pan: fascinating landscapes and
beautiful sunsets is also worth visiting.
- Nata basketry is available for purchase at the village.
Travel Note: access to the pans is by four-wheel drive vehicles
only.
When the Nata River flows, this corner of Sua Pan becomes a paradise
for water-loving birds from all around Africa: teals, ducks, geese and
hosts of pelicans, spoonbills and both greater and lesser flamingoes.
This area is also an important breeding ground for flamingoes and pelicans
There is a campsite within the sanctuary with hot showers, flush toilets
and a braai area.
Dominated by a fallen baobab tree of immense age and girth - this huge
tree collapsed in 1992 but, amazingly, has survived and continues to
grow horizontally with new shoots sprouting along the length of its
trunk
Access roads throughout the sanctuary are well maintained but access
to certain areas may be restricted to 4 - wheel drive, particularly
in the wet season
