Maun is a pleasant if rather featureless little town which acts as the major hub for safari in Botswana.

In decades gone by there was a lot more water in this area. Lodges which were built along the Okavango waterfront have been left high and dry as the delta recedes westward, giving the place a kind of ghost town feel.

Since almost all decent safari in the region is now done by air, the majority of travellers pass through Maun airport without stopping to even take a look around, never mind stay the night.

There is therefore very little in the way of decent accommodation here

Flying into Maun the surrounding areas are populated by traditional settlement

Tree Lodge is situated a fair distance south of Maun on a small private game reserve and is undoubtedly the best lodge in the Maun area.

Very much in the style of a safari lodge, there are seven tented rooms and pleasant public areas centred around a pool.

However the concept behind the lodge seems to be fundamentally flawed, since most guests in this price range do not need to overnight in Maun. We therefore very rarely find the need to include Tree Lodge in a trip
