Which safari operators run trips from Maun?

The 20 operators below each run trips in Botswana and name Maun as a departure point or their office, quoted on their cards, with how they run trips and their published price where they give one.

Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel local safari operators table holds 245 companies with a head office in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia or Zimbabwe: the ones ChatGPT named on two or more days between 5 October and 1 November 2026 in answers to the safari questions Uncompromised Travel asks every day and the operators in those countries with 20 or more reviews on SafariBookings. Their websites were read on 2 November 2026, with their reviews on SafariBookings, Google and Trustpilot. This page carries the operators in it for which a line from its own website, as read, can be quoted showing that it runs trips in Botswana and names Maun as a departure point or its office: 20 operators. Where a website does not give its office, the office on its SafariBookings profile is used. Companies whose websites describe them as planners, agents or destination management companies, or do not say whether they run their own trips, are left out. Cards are in alphabetical order. Prices are shown as each company published them, in its own currency, never converted. No company paid to be on this page.
