Why Maun?

Maun Lodge - The Venue for the 2012 Festival

·         We believe that it will be appropriate to hold an event of this magnitude in Maun, the hub of tourism which boasts of the mighty Okavango Delta. Slam poetry lovers from across the country and abroad will gather for a feast of spoken word poetry making Maun. Throughout the years, Poetavango Spoken Word Poetry has induced the art of poetry into the Maun community. It has, thus, turned Maun into the ‘home of poety.’ The Maun community, therefore, always respond positively to poetry callings  - an artform they can now identify with. This will place our village on the world map and thus show that tranquility and artistic excellence beckons everyone to the country of Botswana, our pride.
