Maun, Botswana
Maun is where urban Botswana meets the wild. This frontier town on the southern edge of the Okavango Delta serves as the staging point for one of Africa's greatest wilderness areas. The town itself is spread along the Thamalakane River, where mokoro (traditional canoe) rides offer a gentle introduction to the delta ecosystem. Walking along the river reveals birdlife, hippo sightings, and the transition from town to wilderness. The Nhabe Museum documents the history and culture of the Batawana people and the region's diverse ethnic groups. Craft cooperatives sell exquisite Botswana baskets woven from palm fronds, one of southern Africa's finest craft traditions.
