Maun

Maun, the second-largest village in Botswana, is a vibrant blend of rural charm and modern amenities. As the tourism capital of Botswana, Maun serves as the administrative center of the Ngamiland district and is a key gateway to the Okavango Delta. The village, although officially still a village, has rapidly developed from a rural frontier town and now features shopping centers, hotels, and lodges. It retains a rural atmosphere with local tribesmen bringing cattle to sell, and the Thamalakane River providing a scenic backdrop where wildlife like red lechwe can be seen grazing. Maun is also the headquarters for numerous safari and air-charter operations, making it an ideal base for exploring the natural wonders of Botswana.
