I stayed in DBB with my wife 4 days before and after safari in Okavango delta and this was the most warmth lodge in Botswana. Marie and Rene who run DBB really care about their guests and we felt there as that they were our friends. They always took time to fulfill all guests’ needs and much, much more. Other... More

We felt part of the family - stayed for a week and can highly recommend to anyone looking for very reasonable, comfortable accommodation away from... More

Discovery B&B is run by a young and enthousiastic dutch couple, René and Marije. They are probably the only ones who still offer traditional accomodation in rondavels with amazing self-made super-high beds. They also offer traditional and local meals with prior arrangement. The B&B itself is very cosy and offers a sea of tranquility. Relaxing is the main theme. They... More

Stayed at Discovery B&B for 2 nights before going into the Delta for a week Safari and I'm so pleased I did. After a long trip it gave me time to switch in to Africa living, such as the noise of the birds, bees, frogs etc during the night and morning and to talk to local people. Discovery B&B is... More

I stayed for 3 nights while visiting Maun. Great place with very friendly staff and excellent service. Good location, just outside of town set in lovely woodland on the road towards Moremi and Chobe NPs. Very comfortable bed, nice showers and quiet, relaxing atmosphere. More

I stayed for two nights at the Discovery B&B prior to a photographic safari with Letaka Safaris out of Maun (exellent by the way!) I had found it here on Trip Advisor and after reading such wonderful reviews decided to give it a go. I stayed in one of the lovely chalets with private bathroom. The room was beautifully appointed... More

Our group of 3 stayed for one night towards the end of our 2 week Botswana trip. Great place, friendly staff, easy to find though a little bit outside of Maun, not necessarily a bad thing. The showers were excellent, plenty of power. The beds were large 4 posters and very comfortable and the whole decor really cool to look... More

We stayed at Discovery Bed & Breakfast Maun, at the end of a 3 week safari. It was a great place to wind down. The owners are an enterprising couple who have given the place so much of character. The decor has its own unique African touch. The place is away from town and surrounded by greenery that has been... More

Tucked away from central Maun. However, we wanted to experience staying in a roundavel, a traditional African hut. Signage clearly give you directions to Discovery B&B. There are two types of roundavel, one with attached shower & one common. You can take leisure walks around Discovery, you'll spot a lot of birds. There is nice pool to dip yourself in.... More

They have lovely rooms set up as authentic huts in a natural setting. The owners were very helpful & accommodating with advice & everything we needed. They only supply breakfast & it’s a little out of the way so there isn’t anywhere to eat within walking distance. However the owner can drive you to dinner, excursions etc & then collect... More
