The best shopping in Maun isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Maun Craft Market are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Matlapaneng Bridge area — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta, where the Thamalakane River meets the edge of the Kalahari. Walking along the riverfront and visiting craft cooperatives offers a taste of Botswana's wilderness culture before venturing into the delta.
