Sometimes you come across something special during your travels. For us, that was with Kay in Maun. We stayed with Kay for almost a week. What we didn't know is that Kay also organizes various tours and safaris in the Okavango Delta. She does this in collaboration with the original inhabitants of the Delta. We made a Mokoro trip with two overnight stays in the Delta. What a great experience that was! The mokoro is the original means of transport in the Delta. We, in the Netherlands, would call it a kind of canoe that is propelled by a barge like you see in Giethoorn in the Netherlands. Even the Delta itself resembles Giethoorn in terms of vegetation. The big difference is the animals. During our walking and mokoro trips we saw many hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeest, different types of antelopes and many types of birds. Birds from very large (for example the fish eagle) to very small. Our guide, who lives in a village in the Delta, could tell us a lot about the different animals. Very educational. Then in the middle of nowhere in the evening together at the campfire, great. With the sounds of the hippos in the background. After this great experience back to Golentle Homestay from Kay. From there we made day tours with a rented car. Once back at Kay in the evening for dinner or a drink, always nice. Kay's location is super clean and there is even a small swimming pool. Cooling off at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius was very pleasant. We could tell you much more about it, but it is best to experience it yourself. We can really recommend this location. Especially considering the prices that Kay charges. The safari tours with Kay are also much cheaper than with the big tour operators. In short, if someone has plans to go to Maun, go to Golentle Homestay.

Great Guesthouse. The staff is very nice and helpful. The location is perfect. I highly recommend it.

Good stay, with a small swimming pool, a patio and a bbq place. Safe internal parking for guests. The place can arrange affordable taxi upon request.

Bit away from city centre. For the price I paid I can't complain. It's very clean and modern. It's in a residential place so you need to hire a taxi to get to town each time

Upon arrival, we were warmly received by Joseph. He also helped us find a place to do mokoro ride and set an appointment and pick up for us. After his shift we were under the care of Ephraim. The town neighbourhood experienced a power cut in the early morning and Ephraim came to the room to alert us that he has prepared hot water for us for bathing. He also followed up with the mokoro ride providers on our behalf and ensured they honoured their arrangement. Joseph and Ephraim were great and seem to work like a well oiled machine.
