Step into the vibrant town of Maun by immersing yourself on Your Botswana Experience’s Maun Immersive Tour!
SPOT THE LOCAL CHILL SPOT: CAR WASH & POOL TABLE
A car wash and a pool table go hand in hand. While in the western culture taking your car to the wash is a very clinical process, here in Botswana and especially Maun, taking your car for a wash is an exciting event that involves meeting new people, having a good laugh and playing a bit of snooker while you’re waitig for your car to be washed. Even after it’s washed you are allowed a good extra hour to eat something and maybe even play another round before heading home!

During the Maun Immersive Tour the host speaks about rituals, local customs and traditions. The month of December focusses on Christmas rituals in Botswana: Christmas in Botswana is about getting together as a family, those who are staying afar are being treated with a cleansing water combined with ash from the open kitchen.
This is to let the ancestors know that they are home and they can welcome them back. (Go Phekola in Setswana). Same will be done to newly born kids as it will be their first time visiting their maternal yards.
Then follows a celebration during Christmas day, either a cow or a goat will be slaughtered, in our Setswana setup everyone knows what s/he has to do as their duties during celebrations, young boys and middle-aged men will either collect firewood or slaughter an animal. Ladies will prepare the food but men will cook mostly meat. For the grannies they will just be there to admire the generations they have brought in this world. Presents are mostly clothes, a jacket and a hat or a complete suit for the grandfather and a full dress made of German „Shweshwe“ fabric for the grandmothers and aunties, young ladies will be given shweshwe skirts.
The most important gift of all is the blessing by our parents, the fact that the ancestors have been told that you are home you will be blessed. The tour can be booked through Safari Destinations.

MAUN IMMERSIVE TOUR GUESTS FEEDBACK
Olefile Makuku – Mack Air Charters Brand Manager
“I found the Tour insightful and truly enjoyed the experience. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learnt during the experience, being a Motswana myself; this initiative is truly going to make Maun a tourist destination itself.
With the rapid growth of Maun and the focus on the roots of Botswana culture, it is a gold mine and an experience to remember. Moreover, the discovery of local spots of interest in Maun, I will definitely be taking home and trying in my personal time.
