Maun Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

Where else than in the Okavango delta can you feel you are really part of Nature.

Flying over the delta to grasp the intensity of this huge wetland was breathtaking.

Going then on a 3 day Mokoro (dhow) trip, finding your own little island to camp, digging your toilet hole :-), cooking on the fire, being waken up by the elephants ...

Kharma Rhino Sanctuary was our last stop on our journey southward. I believe there are about 40-50 rhino at the sanctuary, mostly white – maybe 4-5 black. As a side note, the reason the rhinos are called black and white is not because of their color but rather because when the Afrikaaners told the white people what these animals were the A...

hi everyone!

We hve survivfed the okavango delta!

soooo surreal driving through the reeds on a mokoro powered by only a stick! We encountered lots of elephants and zebras in teh wild on walking safaris and we even watched elephants graze and cross the delta in front of our camp site :)

Tomorrow we head north and on to vic fa...

We are now in Botswana after having spent a wonderful time in Namibia.  After we last wrote we went on a tour of a township in Swakopmund.  Townships were set up in Namibia and South Africa during Apartheid and were for "people of non-european descent".  They were quite controversial as they really separated the whites from the non-whites.  They...

Safari Drive were worried that we were driving a car without having had it checked by a mechanic and wondered whether we would go to Maun a day early. There was almost a cheer - the thought of a proper bed, hot showers. Camping was great and I didn't reget one night of it as you got really close to the wildlife but some of the facilities had bee...

11hours, 800kms, 2 border posts and 4 police checkpoints and windhoek and Namibia were long gone and i was in Maun on the edge of the okavango delta, i set up camp at the okavango river lodge, a relaxed backpackers with a lively bar. next day i went to find my feet in Maun and tried to organise a trip into the delta. the delta is a huge floodpla...

From Chobe we headed off in the baking heat to Maun. Along the way we passed some elephants sitting by the roadside. It's funny, in England we get excited if we see a hedgehog by the road, and here we saw a herd of elephants! The place where we stopped for lunch was covered in ticks and in the evening I found one attached to my head, and had to ...

We arrived in Maun and after clearing customs we were met by a representative from the safari company (Orient Express Safaris - OES) who handed us some cold bottled water (nice touch). Malcom Robinson, the General Manager of OES, also stopped by to say hello and welcome us to Botswana (another nice touch - we are impressed). We then board a 6-se...

in a nutshell: we left the Delta and spent the night back in our campsite in Maun. -------------- Botswana has a different feel from the other 2 African countries we've spent time in. But then Namibia was governed by South Africa from 1918 until its independence in 1990 - it even had the apartheid laws applied - so it has a similarity to SA. It ...

My last two days at Victoria Falls were fun. Five of us visited the Croc Ranch. Here we got to see the crocs & lions be fed, as well as a leopard, cape vulture, and ostriches. We got to play with a 8 month old croc. This was alot different than the one I got to hold in Australia a couple years ago (the Aus one had it's jaw taped shut). At the Cr...
