Maun is a town on the Thamalakane River in northern Botswana. It's the jumping-off point for the vast inland Okavango Delta, which becomes a lush wildlife habitat during the seasonal floods. In the delta, safari camps dot the Moremi Game Reserve, which is home to hippos, lions and rhinos. Island Safari Lodge is located on the banks of the River, and is a cool and welcoming oasis in the heart of Maun. Shaded under a huge canopy of large trees, the lodge overlooks the river and floodplain beyond. From here you can explore the famed Okavango Delta by mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe. Glide past the islands that dot the delta and the surrounding channels for a unique experience that sets you amongst nature.
