Maun is the fifth largest town in Botswana.
As of 2011, it had a population of 55,784. Maun is the "tourism
capital" of Botswana and the administrative centre of Ngamiland district.
It is also the headquarters of numerous safari and air-charter operations who
run trips into the Okavango Delta.
Although officially still a village, Maun has
developed rapidly from a rural frontier town and has spread along the
Thamalakane River. It now has shopping centres, hotels and lodges as well as
car hire, although it retains a rural atmosphere and local tribesmen continue
to bring their cattle to Maun to sell. The community is distributed along the
wide banks of the Thamalakane River where red lechwe can still be seen grazing
next to local donkeys, goats and cattle.
