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.
