Tour Operators - Maun - Botswana

 

Almost all tourists entering the Okavango do so through Maun, situated at the gateway to the Okavango Delta and Maun is the tourism capital of Botswana and the administrative centre of Ngamiland. It is also the headquarters of countless safari and air-charter operations whose signs and offices dot almost every intersection, particularly towards the airport. Since the town's establishment in 1915 as the tribal capital of the Batawana people, Maun has had a rough and ready reputation as a hard-living 'Wild West' town servicing the local cattle ranching and hunting operations. But with the growth of the tourism industry and the completion of the tar road from in the early 1990s, Maun has developed rapidly, losing much of its old frontier town character. It is now home to over 30,000 people. Regular supplies of almost everything can be bought in Maun, and the town boasts several good shopping centres, filling stations, a choice of hotels and lodges as well as car and four-wheel-drive vehicle hire. The Maun Airport, which was officially opened in 1996 after extensive renovations, is - if one counts the light aircraft charters to the various Delta camps - one of the busiest airports in Southern Africa. The name Maun is derived from the San word “maung”, which means “the place of short reeds”.

With more than forty years of experience in Africa, A&K has a guaranteed track record of delivering seamless service from arrival to departure. We have deep roots and long-established relationships that make it possible to give our guests a degree of access and insight no other operator can match.

African Horseback Safaris - Maun
"There is no magic on earth to beat it. The riding safari with African HorseBack Safaris, organised by Sarah-Jane Gullick in the Okavango Delta was a life's dream. From childhood I had yearned to go and see the game of Africa, but tales of a dozen Land Rovers surrounding a few lions had started to put me off. However, this safari was so natural and perfect. Seeing everything from horseback made me feel part of the environment and in touch with it. For ten days in Botswana, I was able to share wild Africa with its animals. It was an extraordinary time. I learnt more about wildlife than I have in the past 20 years, I saw things I couldn't believe and had more fun than you can possibly imagine."

Capricorn Safaris - Maun
Traditionally all safaris were ‘under canvas’ and accordingly, all our safaris are primarily tented. In Africa this is the preferred mode of accommodation, a camping safari should be luxurious. Our tents are spacious, and include beds with duvets, pillows and towels. Battery powered lights at the bedside provide illumination and our staff are always ready to top up the bucket showers with hot water, primitive but wonderfully enjoyable after a full day tracking game. Transport is by custom built Toyota Land Cruisers seating a maximum of 6 clients.

Eco Africa Botswana - Maun
Our Mobile Tented Safaris are not in any way ‘budget’ or ‘participating’. Our camp is essentially a small, tented lodge that moves to different locations. On moving days, guests go on an early game-drive and enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush. When you return in the afternoon you will find a newly set-up camp in a different location. Forget any notions of a mobile as a rushed, hurried safari. We prefer NOT to move the camp every day, as we strongly believe that one must stay in an area for a while to relax and fully appreciate it. We normally move every 3 to 4 days.

Elephant Back Safaris - Maun
Getting to know the elephants at Abu Camp on a personal level is a rare and humbling experience. Meet each member of the herd, learn their history and begin to understand a little of what makes these grand, wise creatures what they are. Watch the interactions of the herd, how they walk silently and majestically along through the bush, trunks swinging, ears flapping – and then join them. Whether walking alongside them or seated in large padded saddles mounted behind experienced elephant-handlers, to join a herd of the largest land mammals on a walk through the bush is to see Africa from a completely different perspective. Surrounded as you are by the herd, many other animals allow you to approach closer than ever.

Phakawe Safaris - Maun
Our clients want more than a mere "overland" package tour, but won't pay for unnecessary luxury. On safari we emphasize getting closer to Nature and the people we meet, leaving behind the luxuries we take for granted, and leaving with you a deeper appreciation of the real Botswana. We don't believe in the "cattle truck" mentality. All our scheduled departures have a maximum of 7 people per trip. We can accommodate larger groups on request. We prefer spending at least two nights in one place so we're not continually pitching then striking camp. Most places have showers and toilets but in the Delta and the Kalahari facilities are very basic. On most safaris we spend one or two nights away from the bush usually in a lodge or hotel.

Wild Lifestyles Safaris - Maun
Mike Penman isn't a guy that shrinks into the background easily, but when on good form he can be exactly the kind of large, slightly wild, old-style guide that you'd want to have between you and a charging buffalo. He's been guiding in Botswana for many years, and knows northern Botswana well. His trips range from the normal Maun-Chobe routes, through to more esoteric options of the Bushmen at Xai Xai and some of the private concessions. These are usually a mixture of luxury mobile trips, and also specialist trips for film-makers and photographers. Recently Mike has collaborated on several trips with another guide who is well-known locally, Mark Tennant (from Kwando Safaris).
