Guide to Maun–Okavango Delta private charter flights, including lodge airstrips, bush-aircraft choices, baggage, camp transfers and pricing.
Botswana safari corridor
Maun → Okavango Delta: this is where the bush aircraft becomes the main event.
Maun is the aviation hub. The final destination is usually a lodge or concession strip, not another conventional airport. For this reference route we use Khwai River Airport (KHW), but the correct endpoint comes from the camp.

Departure
Airport: small regional/international safari gateway.
Food nearby: The Duck Café is opposite the airport; other cafés are within a short walk.
ATM / banking nearby: The Power Station, roughly a 5–10 minute walk from the airport entrance, advertises banking and an ATM.
Shopping nearby: local crafts and shops are available around the airport area.
Best advice: sort cash, food and any repacking in Maun before boarding the lodge aircraft.
Bush arrival
Terminal: no conventional passenger terminal experience.
ATM / restaurant / Wi‑Fi lounge: none to rely on.
Transfer: the camp/lodge pickup is the key service.
Mindset: land, collect luggage and move straight into the safari.
Passengers often arrive in Maun with luggage suitable for an international flight. The final Okavango sector may be operated by a much smaller aircraft. That makes baggage shape and weight more important than on almost any other part of the trip.
Good for individual travellers and standard lodge schedules, but may include intermediate stops.
Useful when the group wants its own timing, fewer stops or a direct camp-to-camp sequence.
