Top Tips for Maun Car Rental

Best Cars to Hire in Maun

For airport transfers, lodge visits, and general town driving, cars like the Toyota Yaris or Volkswagen Polo Vivo are well-suited. If you’re travelling longer distances or heading toward Nxai Pan’s tarred entrance roads, an SUV like the Toyota Corolla Cross offers more space, comfort, and ride height.

Exploring Nearby Destinations

These areas are accessible by tar road:

  • Maun to Shorobe (main access road toward the Moremi region).
  • Nxai Pan National Park gate via A3 (Note: interior roads may need special permits or guidance).
  • Lake Ngami and surrounding villages.
  • Scenic flights over the Okavango Delta are best arranged in Maun town.
