Botswana, Maun - Thamalakane River Lodge

Salt Pan 

After our three days at San Camp, it was our last small plane ride to the city of Maun. Maun is considered a tourist transit point. This area is starting to be developed as more tourists come to the area.

Last Flight

Our arrival at Maun Airport was very smooth. After departing the plane we were driven to the terminal where our driver carried our bags inside and helped us find our transportation to Thamalakane Lodge.  After a 30-minute drive to the lodge and through the town of Maun we arrived at our accommodation.

In Maun, we stayed at the Thamalakane River Lodge outside of town.

Room at the lodge

Thamalakane River is located at the south end of the Okavango Delta.

We took a sunset river cruise to see the farm life and birds along the river. The farm animals consisted of cattle and donkeys. There were a few large birds. The sunset was spectacular.

We also indulged in a couples massage before our river cruise which helped with the sore muscles from being on safari for the last nine days.

The next day we will be picked up by our Namibian guide to cross into Namibia for the next part of our Southern African adventure.
