Th hosts, Renee and Marija are exceptioal, nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation and facilities are well thought out in every detail, and the staff are attentive without being intrusive. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my stay. The poroperty is rustic, traditional, but with so many luxurious touches, it felt like a 5 star hotel in a traditional, rural environment.

“Perfect stay to start/end your time in Botswana”
Tranquil little gem just outside Maun. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. Very responsive and easy to talk to. Easily the best shower in all of Botswana and very comfortable beds too. I slept extremely well. I also love that they have a little shop with their staff’s handicraft work for sale, so much more special when you meet the people who made the items you buy in person.

“Friendly, homely, authentic, good food and company in beautiful surroundings”
It was a traditional themed bed and breakfast with rondavel rooms which were comfortable and authentic set amongst trees and attractive plantings The outdoor shower was fun. We felt instantly at home and the group dinners in the evening were friendly and allowed us to get orientated and chat to our fellow guests. Bird feeders dotted around introduced us to the beautiful birds and tree squirrels.

“Oasis in a desert of dust with very nice owner and personnel”
We spent three nights at Discovery B&B, a good place to visit the Moremi National Reserve and the surroundings. It is a real oasis in this dusty area, full of plants and birds and provides a very quiet environment. The personnel is super-friendly and helpful to organize trips etc. The dinner - home-made by the friendly chefs - is tasty and integrates local as well as international components e.g. greek salad, red beets etc. together wither with Seswaa dishes or Boboti. All guests sit together around a big table what creates a familiar atmosphere. Breakfast is great. If you want to go to town (Marcs Eatery must be mentioned) they'll help you with the reservations. All in all: Highly recommended!

Accommodation was clean, comfortable and very attractive. Set in a lovely garden and decorated in a charming Botswana theme. Dinner was excellent, featuring traditional dishes, and breakfast was delicious. Our hosts and their team were friendly, informative and efficient.

Our stay was so nice, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Discovery B&B was as nice as the advertising but with so many birds in the garden to see. It was clean, comfortable and each room had privacy from one another. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you 😊

“Great choice to stay near Maun.”
Marij and René have made a little paradise here near Maun! Great staff and a beautiful and comfortable room. Away from Maun, but staying in the city centre is not a plus anyway. Food at the restaurant and at breakfast is good. We would certainly choose Discovery again!
