15 - Moa Monwela - Maun: donkey town or so much more?
Show Notes

Moa Monwela is a professional guide who grew up in Maun and has a shared history with the village. He joins me to discuss the history of Maun and he shares his experiences growing up here and the changes he has seen over the decades.

in 2011 Moa founded Endurance travel and based himself out of one of the hotels offering experiences to people visiting Maun who are not able to get into the camps and lodges and wildlife areas for longer. He shares the activities available to people spending a night as well as his view on this place he calls an international village.

We answer the question of is Maun only a donkey town, and the answer is no, it is so much more. Its a quirky place that is hard to understand in a short visit but there are some wonderful new offerings available that give an opportunity to understand the place a bit more.
The Okavango Craft Brewery and the tour they offer was featured in Episode 13.
Your Experience Botswana is a new cultural tour that is just being launched.
