Worth agreeing on before you meet

Greetings Are Important

Batswana greet each other warmly before any conversation. Dumela (hello to one person) or Dumelang (hello to a group) followed by Le kae? (how are you?) shows respect and is always appreciated. A handshake is standard.

Respect the Delta

The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fragile ecosystem. Never litter, do not disturb wildlife, and follow your guide's instructions at all times. The delta survives because local communities protect it, so honour that stewardship.

Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Maun travel guide.
