Why the safari capital?
Countless small aircraft depart from Maun to the remote camps in the Okavango Delta, which is why the town has become the most important logistical center for safaris in the entire country.

What can you do directly here?
Mokoro trips on the Thamalakane River, the Old Bridge Backpackers meeting spot and local markets offer an authentic glimpse of the region even without expensive delta camps.

How long should you stay?
