Maun Airport

Maun Airport serves as the main gateway to the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve.

These operations, during their peak in the June to August high season, make the airport the second-busiest in Africa for aircraft movements.

The earliest known flights over the Okavango took place in July 1925, and were part of a survey of rivers in the region, using aircraft based in Livingstone.
