Maun was best known as being a small outpost in the "back-of-beyond", and although this is no longer the case, it is still home to a large mix of characters from all over Botswana, and around the world.
Maun is also the administrative center of the Ngamiland District, and the seat of power of the BaTawana tribe.
The Thamalakane River drains the area and leads the remainder of the water to the Boteti River, which flows through a break in the fault to Lake Xau and eventually the Makgadikgadi Pans.

 Latest News - Republic of Botswana
Maun West constituency candidate for Botswana Congress Party, Otsile Ditsheko, said the BDP was to blame for the Okavango river's failure to flow into the Thamalakane River and beyond as it had been the norm in the past.
On the failure of the Okavango river waters to reach Maun as it used to, Ridge blamed the phenomenon on the advent of poor rainfall, saying it is not convincing to blame the BDP for poor rains.
Responding to Ditsheko's accusation that government and its allies have blocked the river, he said the suggestion was ironic because Batawana rejected government's dredging project intended to clear passageways for the free flow of water sometime ago.
