Maun Lodge

Maun Lodge

8/10 Good
"Stayed one night in River view room. Furnishings are somewhat dated but definitely adequate for our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. À la carte food was great ; didn’t try the buffet. Reception staff were very helpful and followed up on local transfer details for us. Shuttle to and from airport was also very handy. Would stay again if passing through Maun."

"The location right next to the Khwai concession, so it’s easy accessible for your night drives. The camp itself is beautifully nestled right on the Khwai river. If you want serenity this is the place to go to. You can feel the team likes to work there and make sure you have a great experience. If you try to get good sightings try to get Longer as your guide. Ex BDF Anti Poaching unit - do I have to say more?"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Okavango Delta?
The best time to go to the Okavango Delta is during the dry season, from May to October, when wildlife viewing is at its peak.During these months, the floodwaters from Angola arrive, causing the delta to swell and attracting a huge concentration of animals. The vegetation is sparser, making it easier to spot wildlife, and animals tend to gather around the remaining water sources. This period offers the best opportunities for mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions and game drives.Couples looking for a romantic and exclusive safari experience will find this period ideal. The clear skies and comfortable temperatures (though mornings and evenings can be cool) make for pleasant days spent exploring. Many luxury camps offer private viewing decks and intimate dining experiences, great for those celebrating a special occasion.For families with older children, the dry season also provides excellent educational opportunities. The abundance of wildlife means more frequent and exciting sightings, which can keep younger travellers engaged.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
