Operators Welcome Maun-Cape Town Route

Kagiso Senwedi, manager of Delta Air that undertakes scenic flights over the Okavango Delta, said the route makes it cheaper for tourists to connect Maun and Cape Town directly. Senwedi said Cape Town, which is marine tourism hub and Maun, the getaway to the Okavango Delta, are two self-complementing hubs.

African Excursions managing director, Sammy Mokgadi expressed the same sentiments. He observed that the route used to be operated by Air Botswana which however stopped flying between the hubs. “This is a welcome development. It will save tourists the hassle of connecting Maun and Cape Town via Johannesburg.
