Often referred to as the gateway to the Okavango Delta, Maun is more than just a starting point - it's a destination in its own right.
Located on the fringes of the delta, this bustling frontier town blends safari logistics with local charm. Maun is home to Botswana’s primary airport for accessing wilderness areas, with regular light aircraft departures to camps and lodges across the Okavango, Moremi, and beyond.
In recent years, it has developed a thriving tourism infrastructure, offering everything from cultural experiences and curio shopping to scenic flights over the Delta and visits to local craft centres. While many travellers only pass through, a stay in Maun can add a layer of insight into the people and rhythms of everyday life in Botswana. It’s also the logistical hub for self-drive safaris and mobile expeditions into the country’s wild interior.
