Maun Lodge is considered kind of “luxury” hotel in Maun. The location is good, across street to a shopping mall and a very short drive to the airport. The free airport transportation is excellent. Definitely book a review view room in wet season. The sunrise/sunset over thousands of white water lily flowers and various birds are breathtaking. Most staff are friendly and very helpful except some front desk receptionists. Bathroom cleanness can be improved.

Good hotel for the beginning or end of a safari

Great option in MAun for the beginning or end of safari. The views across the river were nice, especially if you like watching a wide variety of birds come and go. Restaurant service is quite slow but teh food was very good.

We spent 3 nights at the Maun Lodge. It is a bit older, but considering its convenience and free airport shuttle, we were happy with our stay. The room itself was basic but very clean and house keeping came every day to tidy up and replace any dirty towels and restock complimentary still water bottles to the room. The restaurant is busy and offers a decent menu. The staff is friendly and helpful with whatever you need. We enjoyed the pool on our final day. It is a cold water pool, but we were happy lounging in the lounge chairs and enjoying the shade and quiet. Overall, we would stay again if we return to Maun.

This was a quaint hotel that is very convenient to the airport. I stayed here for one night after arriving in Maun the day before going on a safari. The hotel was clean and quiet. The room was basic but clean. The TV was a little wonky (but I think it was my specific TV because the one in my parents' room was fine). I had chosen a regular room and it was comfortable enough for me. My parents' choose a river view room, but found when they arrived that the river was dry, so it was more or less just looking at a grassy area.

The restaurant at the lodge was very good! It's an open air restaurant (with covered sections), so it is almost magical on a nice night. They had a fire pit lit and it was just a beautiful experience. I didn't go to the pool, but I looked at it and it seemed like a nice pool area.

Great Lodge with Elevated Observation Deck

I stayed at the lodge before and after my safari in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. This is a beautiful lodge with an excellent restaurant. The breakfast buffet spread is tempting, and a must try is their ox tongue (if available). Their dinner buffet is excellent as well. For the meat lover, they serve roasted goat and grilled beef during dinner. Beer selection is adequate. Hotel service is great and responsive. Luggage could be stored at the lodge whilst you are on a safari. Lodge security is excellent. - it is walled-in with electrified cables atop. Rooms are provided with a dead bolt and a safe. There is an elevated viewing deck adjacent to the restaurant that overlooks the Thamalakane River. It is great for a sun-downer. I spent sometime on the deck during my last evening, and at a distance you could view ducks in flight with a setting sun as the background. I took several photos with my long lens. There is a bar on the elevated viewing deck. Unlike a previous review from another guest, I do find the rooms to be quiet for a good nights' sleep. The rooms are about 125 ft. to 150 ft. from the main road. A tour desk is present, though, I did not use that service. Room and shuttle service are excellent. There is not much activity (from a tourist viewpoint) nearby. A short taxi ride would take you to downtown. The return taxi fare was inexpensive - costing me about USD2.50. I am happy with my stay and would return if my travels take me through Maun.

Gute Adresse zur Übernachtung vor einer Safari

Wir waren dort 2 Nächte bevor wir auf Safari gingen. Das Restaurant ist okay. Bei unserem Aufenthalt gab es a la carte-Essen, was uns gefiel. Wir konnten immer einen Platz am Feuer reservieren. Die Zimmer sind relativ klein und auf der Terrasse für zwei Räume gab es leider nur einen Tisch und zwei Stühle für beide. Der Fluss hatte Mitte Mai noch kein Wasser, sodass man aufs trockene Flussbett guckt.
