Maun, the gateway to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, is a lively safari hub blending modern amenities with a rustic charm. The town serves as the starting point for delta adventures, offering scenic flights, mokoro excursions, and game drives into nearby reserves. With its vibrant local markets, cultural experiences, and a range of accommodations, Maun is the perfect base for exploring Botswana’s incredible wilderness.
Dry conditions make wildlife viewing spectacular, especially in the Okavango Delta and Chobe, as animals gather around remaining water sources. It’s the best time for safaris and scenic mokoro trips, but it’s also the busiest and most expensive period, with lodges booking up well in advance.
April and May offer cooler temperatures and good game viewing before the Delta floods, while November brings dramatic skies and the chance to see newborn animals. These months offer great value and fewer crowds, making them a smart choice for experienced travelers and photographers.

Botswana’s Green Season is hot and rainy, with lush landscapes and dramatic thunderstorms. Wildlife is more dispersed, but birding is superb and antelope calving attracts predators. While some areas may be inaccessible, it’s a peaceful time with great rates and quiet camps.
