Things to do in Maun Airport
Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta — one of the world's great wilderness areas and a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Okavango River fans out into the Kalahari Desert, creating an inland oasis of channels, lagoons, and islands teeming with elephants, hippos, lions, wild dogs, and extraordinary birdlife. The only way to explore the inner delta is by traditional mokoro dugout canoe or light aircraft — both experiences are genuinely extraordinary.
