Maun Travel Guide and Safari Gateway
Maun is the main Okavango gateway
Maun combines a regional airport, safari operators, supplies and road access toward Moremi. Many fly-in safaris change from scheduled aircraft to light aircraft here.
Prepare before leaving town
Confirm charter instructions, luggage limits, transfer times and emergency contacts. Self-drivers should refuel, buy water and food and verify current track conditions before entering remote areas.
How long to stay
Maun can be a one-night operational stop, but an extra day creates protection against flight changes and allows a scenic flight or local activity. Do not schedule a long Moremi return drive directly before an international connection.
Remember that Maun is a community
The town is more than a safari staging area. Use local businesses respectfully, ask before photographing people and manage waste and water carefully.
