Botswana Tours from Maun

Imagine climbing into a small plane in Maun and watching the channels of the Okavango Delta spread out under the wings. Later, you sit low in a mokoro canoe as someone poles you through the reeds, with elephants sometimes moving along the banks. In Moremi, game drives bring long stretches of quiet plains between sightings. Evenings usually mean a simple fire, a meal, and the sounds of the bush carrying through the dark.
