Maun International Airport (MUB/FBMN) is the main aviation gateway to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, located just outside Maun town in the North-West District. It handles scheduled regional flights and a high volume of safari charters, making it one of the busiest airports in Botswana. Its single runway and compact terminal connect travelers to Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe, and dozens of delta camps.
💡 Local Tip
If you are continuing by light aircraft to a delta camp, pack in a soft duffel and keep total weight under 20 kg—charter operators at Maun strictly enforce this, and excess luggage storage can be limited.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is only a short drive from central Maun, so taxis and hotel shuttles are quick and inexpensive; agree on the fare before departing. Rental cars are available at the terminal, but a 4x4 is recommended if you plan to self-drive to nearby reserves. For charter departures to delta camps, confirm transfer times and baggage limits with your lodge or operator in advance.
