Maun Lodge

Maun Lodge sits on the banks of the Thamalakane River on the edge of Maun, Botswana's principal safari gateway town — just 2.5km from the town centre and 4km from Maun Airport. Rather than a bush camp inside a wildlife concession, this is a town-based hotel functioning as a staging point for delta-bound travellers: a place to overnight before or after a fly-in safari, refuel with reliable town amenities, or host a group event before heading into the wilderness.

The lodge is substantial by regional standards — 140 rooms across five accommodation categories: riverfront rooms (including two Presidential Suites), Executive Suites, Executive Rooms, Standard Rooms and Chalets. Every room is air-conditioned with satellite TV, tea/coffee facilities, Wi-Fi and an en-suite bathroom — a materially different comfort and connectivity profile from the solar-powered, off-grid bush camps that make up most of a typical Botswana itinerary.

Facilities lean into its hub role: several dining options including the popular Boma restaurant, and conference facilities that can seat up to 500 delegates, making it a genuine option for corporate groups or MICE business as well as leisure stopovers. The lodge has been operating for over two decades (celebrating its 22nd anniversary) and is well represented across major booking and review platforms.
