Maun

Why visit Maun?

Maun is the place where most people arrive into or leave Botswana. It’s not a big town, and has little to keep you here though you might need a night or two on certain itineraries (eg the night before a mobile safari leaves). It is also the hub town for getting out to the Okavango Delta.
