Where to Stay in Maun
If you find yourself in Maun before or after the wedding, we recommend two spots to lay your head. One is more modest than the other, with Grays Eden for those after a boujee upgrade.
Maun has a few cool places to enjoy a drink or something to eat. We recommend Mark's Eatery, Dusty Donkey, The Duck, and Tandurei.
​
If you're not driving yourself, there's an insane amount of taxis that cruise the roads - throw a stone in any direction and you'll hit a Honda Fit ready to give you a lift!
