Maun,  Botswana's tourism  capital, is a great starting  point on any Botswana safari.  It lies on the southern fringes of the Okavango Delta,  and  still,  despite  recent modernizations, carries the feeling of a dusty, frontier town. For many tourists, Maun is the point of entry into the Okavango Delta, and often into  Botswana,  with  direct flights from both Johannesburg and Gaborone. The area features camps as well as lodges. Dining and transportation options are also available. Maun can also be a  central  destination  while  visiting other  attractions  throughout  the country.
