The numbers of each type of aircraft are constantly changing, but as a rough guideline of who operates what types:
(And someone can correct me if I'm wrong here...)

Air Shakawe: C206, C207, C210
Delta Air: C206, C210, GA8
Kavango Air: C172, C206, GA8
Mack Air: C206, GA8, C208, Kodiak
Major Blue Air: C172, GA8, C208, BE58, B200, Hawker 800
Moremi Air: GA8
Safari Air: GA8, C208, Kodiak
Wilderness Air: C206, GA8, C208

Sadly, Fridge Air closed its doors in Maun last year... but I am enjoying the kitchen/ hospitality supply shop that took over their office space. You win some, you lose some.
You're probably seeing more 206's because all the airvans are flying...
