The Bushman Craftshop

The Bushman Craftshop is a craft shop at Maun Airport (MUB) in Maun, in the North-West District of Botswana. Maun Airport is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana and lies on the north side of the town. It is the main air gateway to the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve. Alongside scheduled services by Air Botswana, Airlink and other carriers, it handles a large volume of light-aircraft charter flights carrying visitors and supplies to the lodges of the Delta, and it has a 3,700-metre asphalt runway. The shop's name uses "Bushman", the older English term for the San peoples, the indigenous hunter-gatherer cultures of southern Africa whose ancestral territories span Botswana, Namibia and neighbouring countries. The word comes from the 17th-century Dutch Bosjesmans; it is still used, including by some San to describe themselves, though many South Africans now regard it as derogatory. Maun was founded in 1915 as the tribal capital of the Batawana and stretches along the Thamalakane River. It is the administrative centre of Ngamiland and the base of many safari and air-charter operators working in the Delta; the 2022 census counted 85,293 residents. The shop has not published its stock, prices, opening hours or contact details online, so travellers should ask in the airport terminal.
