Introducing Maun
A schizophrenic apparition of donkey-drawn carts and flash 4WDs, Maun (pronounced ‘mau-oon’) is the self-proclaimed gateway to the Okavango Delta. Although it was once a rough-and-tumble outpost for graziers, hunters and poachers, the sealing of the road in from Nata lead to the burgeoning safari industry that now drives the town’s economy. Although Maun is anything but inspiring, it the obvious start and/or finish for most trips into the delta, and it’s by far the most tourist-friendly town in Botswana.
