Maun Intl. Airport – Spotting Guide

October 30, 2023 - last modified on October 27, 2023

The city of Maun is the fifth largest town in Botswana. At the airport you see mainline traffic by Air Botswana, AirLink and Fastjet. But there is also a lot of private charter traffic to and from the safari lodges. These flights are operated by smaller props like the Cessna Caravan or Gippsland GA-8 Airvan.

General Information
Terminal	Besides the major terminal for the mainline carriers there are several small charter terminals.
Runway	One runway 08/26 with a length of 3.700m (12.139ft)

	Road Junction
WHERE	The location is just a short trip from the main terminal. Drive westwards and turn right at the next junction. Continue on this road, pass the approach path and drive straight to the next junction. You can stay here, next to a gravel area with some trees spending some shadow.

WHAT	Arrivals on runway 08 only.

TIME	During the winter season you can spot here the whole day. During the summer it is backlit during the morning.

MISC.	Pretty safe spots. Kids and goats will pass by from time to time.

FOCAL LENGTH	330mm for a Cessna 208

The road junction appears to be the only possible location land side. However if you are in Maun then most likely you will take one of the chartered flight heading into the Okavango delta, it is possible to take a few quick photos in the ramp before boarding the plane. Feel free to ask the pilots they are very friendly and happy to give you a couple of mins to take pictures. An example shot – https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10935107
