10.43ha Developed Agro-Tourism Plot | Maun, Botswana

LOCATION & TOURISM POTENTIAL

The property's location on the outskirts of Maun places it within the wider tourism ecosystem of northern Botswana.

Maun is an important gateway to the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve and is home to numerous safari operators, lodges and air-charter businesses. Maun International Airport provides access to regional destinations and is an important part of the area's tourism infrastructure.

The combination of an agro-tourism zoning, existing accommodation, campsite facilities, agricultural infrastructure and a natural bush setting makes this property particularly suited to buyers looking for a property that can be further developed for tourism, accommodation, agricultural or mixed-use purposes.

The property is approximately 10 km from Maun town centre by radius, while Maun International Airport is also within the broader surrounding area. The airport is approximately 5 km from central Maun and serves as a key gateway for visitors travelling into the Okavango region.

With Maun continuing to be positioned as a major tourism destination and with Botswana's development planning identifying tourism diversification and further growth for the town, the property's location provides an attractive long-term investment proposition.
