A Fun and Informative Activity! - This was a last minute booking because of a delay in our departure from Botswana to Cape Town; it ended up being the best thing that could have happened! Such a worthwhile and informative tour. And fun! We had a great time and purchased some wonderful gifts! Of course, we loved the fact that Travel for Impact is making such a positive difference in the community!!

Let this tour introduce you to the "Gateway to the Delta" - We stopped over in Maun in order to visit Elephant Havens. Our travel agent arranged this tour for the afternoon before. What at first seemed to be a dusty stopover from the airport soon became a hub of Botswana culture as Kay and her fellow guide introduced us to the kgotla, car wash, local artists and BOTS Quality Baskets. We learned about the role that traditional chiefs play in Botswana's government, customs related to marriage, traditional tools and visited the marketplace. This tour certainly enriched our experience of wonderful Botswana!

Great cultural experience you don’t want to miss it. - Enjoyed visiting lively old mall and market place, sampling traditional food at plant culture cafe. Food was really good. Liked trying basket weaving and enjoyed learning about the history of maun. Guide Kay and van driver were great. Left my mug in van and they tracked me down to return it to me.

wonderful and informative experience in maun - Great time, very pleasant and informative in Maun, discovering lively and charming places, unexpected ones like markets, a corner of nature and walking (I saw my first crocodile 'outside of a safari' there), or visiting BOTS QUALITY BASKETS with their incredible traditional baskets. Our guide had many anecdotes, and we learned a lot about the life and customs of the locals at every moment of the walk. Very nice, it's really worth it!

Enjoying the Hustle and Bustle of Maun! - We were bright-eyed with joy exploring a layer behind the scenes of Maun. What looks like a dusty donkey town from the skies, it was wonderful to be immersed in the hustle and bustle of Maun.

Highly recommend getting into the special nooks & crannies of Maun with this tour! - This is a must-do if you have a few extra hours in Maun! It was so interesting to learn from a local artisan how the exquisite Botswana baskets are made, experience the lively markets, see colorful street art, meet talented artists, and even encounter wildlife right in town. Kay is an engaging and knowledgeable guide, making the tour personal and fun!
