When to go to Maun (Okavango)?
Maun is where the tarmac ends and the delta begins: light aircraft on one side, mokoro poles on the other. Gliding through the reed channels, you travel at the speed of the water, past palm islands and the elephants of the Moremi Reserve. A scenic flight makes sense of it all, tracing the Okavango's shifting arms from above.
