📍 Destination Overview
Maun lies on the southern edge of Botswana's Okavango Delta, the main gateway for exploring this world-famous wetland. Its airport is the aerial hub to remote camps, where light planes fly over a maze of waterways and wildlife; the town is full of safari operators for organising mokoro (canoe), vehicle and fly-in expeditions. Maun pulses with safari adventure.
