Day

Mokoro
(dugout
canoe) trip into the Okavango Delta with a walking safari, incl in
the price
After
breakfast we will
take the motor boat into the Moremi National park. We
are in the territory of the River People., deep in the Delta.
Mokoros
will be our main form of transport for this day. These amazing
traditional craft are perfectly designed for the narrow waterways of
the Okavango and allow us to travel further into the Delta than if we
were using more modern forms of transport.
Mokoros
carry three people, two seated passengers and one driver. The driver
stands in the rear of the canoe, (a real feat of balance), and uses a
long wooden pole to propel and steer the Mokoro through the twisting
channels. It really is the only way to travel.
The
Okavango is a wildlife paradise and we will look for game from both
our Mokoros and on bush walks guided by local specialist guides, our
polers.
