Is there ANY way to get from Maun to Windhoek (Namibia) by public transport ?

My friend can't drive and she hasn't got the money for an overland 'tour'

Thanks Luc

Also...the flight is too expensive ;-)

Bus...minibus....even via other cities is ok!

Thanks Luc

I took a bus from Maun to Ghanzi, another one from there to the border (I think it may have been going to Charles Hill but they kindly dropped me at the border). From the Namibia side I took a shared taxi to Gobabis. I didn't have any time pressure so decided to spend a night in Gobabis then take another shared taxi to Windhoek in the morning, but you can probably go straight from the border to Windhoek with a shared taxi.

Audi camp used to do a shuttle run in a minibus. Not sure if they still do but you could e-mail and ask:
