Happy Africa day, we celebrate her beauty, her cultural diversity, her pristine wilderness.

“Africa — You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.”

* Jodi Picoult (American author)

Declared a World Heritage Site in 2001, Tsodilo Hills safeguard more than 4,000 rock art paintings. Stone tool evaluations tell us that Bantu people arrived here as early as AD500. Still, the intriguing layering of rock paintings and other archaeological relics suggests that other ancestors occupied this area for as long as 100,000 years. According to Unesco, “The authenticity of the rock art in terms of materials, techniques, setting and workmanship is impeccable and, other than some impact caused by natural deterioration and visitors, it remains as original as the time of its creation.”

The name Maun comes from the San word “Maung” which means “the place of short reeds”. Known as the gateway to the Okavango Delta, Maun is a thriving hub and destination itself. The sandy suburbs of the town sprawl along the length of the Thamalakane River which is fed by several tributaries that flow from the Okavango Delta. Maun is unique because of these river systems that bring the floodwaters into the heart of the town during the driest time of the year - creating an oasis in the Kalahari Desert.
