After your long flight, you land in Maun, the quiet gateway to Botswana.

Tonight you stay in town, taking time to rest and prepare for the days ahead.

While Maun is not a bustling tourist hub, we’ll share a few hints on how to enjoy your time here.
Amid its calm atmosphere, your journey quietly begins.

The journey takes you by road, unhurried, to Shakawe in Botswana’s far northwest.

Here, along the upper reaches of the Okavango River, lies a place blessed with flowing waters and embraced by towering green trees.

The air is alive with the calls of countless birds, their songs weaving together with the gentle murmur of the river—
a harmony that loosens the heart and softens the spirit.

Scattered across the Tsodilo Hills are ancient rock paintings left by the people who once lived here.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the hills invite you on a hike through traces of prayers and daily life from centuries past.

Often called the “Mountains of the Gods,” Tsodilo is wrapped in a quiet, spiritual atmosphere.
Listen closely to the wind, and you may feel as if voices from a distant time are still carried through the air.

Leaving Shakawe behind and passing through Maun, the flight carries you away from the waters and greenery of the Delta.

Below, the land stretches dry and vast, opening into an emptiness that feels almost untouched by human presence.

Amid this boundless plain, a lodge stands quietly, as if part of the landscape itself.
Through wide glass doors, you gaze out at wildlife moving gracefully toward water in the glow of sunset.

To sit in stillness and watch them pass is a rare luxury—one found only here.

Against the backdrop of a vast white salt pan, the Baines’ Baobabs rise with commanding presence.

Amid the dry earth and dazzling whiteness, these ancient trees stand powerful and enduring, guardians of the land.

To stand beneath their branches is to feel the quiet breath of centuries.
In their stillness, the spiritual force of the earth seems to resonate within you, echoing across time itself.

Have you heard of the San, Botswana’s first people, who have shared in humanity’s earliest story?

On the dry expanses of the Kalahari, they have lived in harmony with nature for countless generations.

To them, the Kalahari is a land of treasures.
Medicinal plants, simple tools, even the making of fire, each carries the wisdom of people who have walked side by side with the natural world.

No journey through Botswana is complete without the mokoro, the traditional canoe of the Okavango Delta.
This time you drift along the Delta’s outer channels, surrendering to the gentle flow of its waters.

Here, a world unfolds where only the sounds of nature remain and where hippos may watch you intently from the shallows.

Stepping ashore, you walk into the wild at eye level, each step carrying a quiet tension within the stillness of the land.

Departing from Maun does not feel like an ending, but an opening.
The spirit of Botswana stays with you, even as the skies carry you onward.

Beyond lies another world waiting to be discovered whether the red dunes of Namibia, or the Cape’s dramatic coastline.

Your next chapter begins just across the border, and we are here to guide you there.
