Maun Tours and Activities | Top Things to Do in Botswana

Maun is often called the gateway to the Okavango Delta. This lively town in northwestern Botswana is the perfect starting point for unforgettable adventures, from incredible safaris to river excursions. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Maun offers a unique blend of local culture, wildlife, and modern comforts. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply looking for a new travel experience, this is the place to begin your journey.

A Brief Look Back

Originally a small tribal village, Maun rapidly grew into one of Botswana’s main travel hubs in the early 20th century. Today, the town thrives thanks to tourism and remains the traditional headquarters of the Batawana people. You’ll notice the blend of old and new as you explore: local cattle herders still wander past comfortable lodges, and marketplaces are filled with crafts and stories that echo the past.

When to Go

The best time to visit is during the dry winter months from May to October, when animals gather at water sources and safari conditions are ideal. The rainy summer season (November to April) brings lush landscapes and migrants birds, but some areas can be harder to access due to flooded roads.

How do I get to the Okavango Delta from here?

Most visitors take a small plane, a 4x4 safari vehicle, or a traditional mokoro canoe to reach the Okavango Delta. Bookings can be made in advance or arranged upon arrival, giving you plenty of flexibility.

What should I pack?

Light, breathable clothing in neutral colors is recommended, alongside sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent. If you’re heading on safari, don’t forget binoculars and a camera!
