The best time to visit Maun is between June and October because this is the best season for wildlife sightings and water-based experiences in the Okavango Delta. During these months, the weather is cooler and drier. Water levels in the Delta are at their peak because of seasonal flooding. This makes it ideal for boat safaris as well.

June to October is also less humid, which many travellers prefer. It's the most popular time of year, so it’s a good idea to book both flights and accommodation early.

The cheapest time to visit Maun is usually November because it is the start of the rainy season. November is warmer, and the Delta starts to recede. This may limit some water-based safari activities. Still, if you’re flexible and want to save money, it’s a good time to travel.

The best time to book your flight to Maun is around six weeks before you plan to travel. This may sound close to your travel date, but that’s when airlines usually release better deals, including discounts. If you're travelling during the dry season or school holidays, try to sort your lodge or camp booking much sooner.

The good news is that it is generally safe to visit Maun, Botswana. The UK government does not advise against travel to Botswana in general because most visits are trouble-free, especially for tourists heading to Maun for safaris or wildlife trips.

However, you should still take standard travel precautions. Petty crime can happen, like pickpocketing or bag theft, particularly in busy areas or markets. The UK government also advises travellers to avoid political gatherings or demonstrations, even if they seem peaceful.
