Overview
Maun, located in northwestern Botswana, is often called the “gateway to the Okavango Delta.” This lively town blends traditional culture with modern tourism infrastructure, serving as the starting point for many safaris into the Delta and surrounding national parks. While Maun itself offers cultural experiences and riverfront relaxation, its true appeal lies in the excursions that depart from here—whether by mokoro (traditional canoe), 4x4 safari, or scenic flight.
The town is also home to craft markets, local villages, and a vibrant mix of people, making it a fascinating stop before or after exploring Botswana’s wilderness.
