There are few things to ‘see’ in Maun, so do not pack your camera hoping to catch incredible sights in pictures. No, there are no elephants roaming on Tawana Road or at New Mall and you will not hear lions roaring at Sedie.

My love for Maun is well documented. I have awesome and deep memories in that place and no one should dare argue when I state that Maun is a very special place – not just a gateway to a special place.
