Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta, and what you rent here depends entirely on where you plan to drive. For town errands and lodge transfers a normal car does the job, but any self-drive into Moremi Game Reserve or the delta's sand-and-water tracks needs a proper 4x4 - most self-drive safari itineraries are built around one. Rental desks have operated at Maun Airport (MAU), and safari-spec 4x4s (roof tents, long-range tanks, recovery gear) are a regional specialty; use the search below to compare current suppliers and confirm pickup details for your dates. In the July-October dry season - peak safari time - both categories book out well ahead, so reserve early.
