What is it like living in Maun?
Maun is a small town with a relatively small community. It is dry and dusty. Donkeys have right of way in the streets of Maun! There are limited shops and restaurants. There are a few sports facilities. There are no movie theatres. In winter Maun looks very barren but the temperates are pleasant (10 to 23°C) and as summer approaches Maun is incredibly hot (up to 45°C). The upside is that our pilots spend many nights (about 50%) over in the camps in the Okavango. Sefofane services a lot of camps so there is a lot of variety in the night stops. As the seasons change so too does the Okavango. If you enjoy being in a wilderness area, if you enjoy birding and wild life and you enjoy interacting with people you will have a good time in Maun. The Okavango is a pristine area with a very special aura. We encourage applicants to consider carefully what their interests are. If this job is only a means to an end, you will not enjoy working in this environment.
