Maun has been the start of expeditions into Botswana's wildlife areas since the turn of the century, and it is now the safari capital of the country and the gateway to the Okavango Delta.

It's a little town, dotted with modern shops and offices, while its suburbs are mainly traditionally built, thatched rondavels. Look carefully amongst these and you'll find quite a lot which incorporate old tin cans from drinks into their mud walls.

Maun is well connected with Johannesburg by scheduled Air Botswana flights.
