Because we live here with our families, investment in long term sustainable change is very important to us. We have partnered with the community, supporting citizen owned businesses and local entrepreneurs enabling economic empowerment.
By creating a “Maun Experience” focused on people, culture and lifestyle, our goal is to diversify Botswana’s tourism product beyond wildlife, and increase interest in our little town as a tourism destination, stimulating economic growth within our community.
We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination.
If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and take supplies for the projects we support in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families. Please click here to see what supplies are needed for our project/projects.
USD$1 per person, per activity/night is contributed to Travel for Impact.
This ensures that your travel experience has a meaningful impact on the people who live locally. Together we are making a real difference.
Meet The People
Immersive travel is about the people you meet as much as the places you visit. Experience Botswana beyond wildlife, connect with the local people and learn about their culture.
