About Maun for Solo Travelers
The launchpad for the Okavango Delta — Africa's last great inland sea where solo travelers glide silently through water lilies in a dugout canoe with hippos and elephants at arm's reach.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta — most solo travelers arrive by flight or road and immediately arrange their mokoro (dugout canoe) safari through one of the camps or operators in town. Budget mokoro trips sleep under the stars in the Delta with a poler-guide; luxury options exist too. Book ahead in peak season (June–August). The Delta is one of the world's greatest wildlife experiences.
