What to do in Maun

Maun may not be a big-hitter in the safari stakes but it is the charming gateway to the Okavango Delta. Full of vendors and shops to get you safari ready, you’ll also find a selection of lovely hotels that provide a home-away-from-home in between action-packed days. If you fancy a little bit of adventure while you’re in town, there are scenic heli-flips or small plane flights into the surroundings.
