Okavango Mokoro Safari

   

Okavango Mokoro Safari

In the tranquil waters of the Okavango Delta, visitors often traverse the shallow channels and lagoons in a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe expertly navigated by local guides known as “polers.” Gliding silently through the reeds and water lilies, this mode of transport offers an intimate and immersive way to experience the delta’s rich wildlife and pristine natural beauty.

From this vantage point, travelers can closely observe the diverse birdlife, spot aquatic animals, and even catch glimpses of larger mammals coming to the water’s edge, all while appreciating the peaceful serenity of the delta’s vast ecosystem.
