The Okavango Delta, with its vast patchwork maze of channels, floodplains, lagoons and an abundance of islands to explore. The best way to explore the delta is on a mokoro, the traditional dug-out canoe (now made of fibreglass) used throughout the delta – propelled through the shallows with a long pole called an nkashi. There is almost nowhere you cannot go if you follow the water and avoid hippos.
Offers a snapshot view of the traditional mode of transport utilized for hundreds of years by the Bayei people living in the Okavango Delta. The Bayei are the people of this wild place, the stewards and custodians of this grand wilderness for hundreds of years. Every time a tourist steps into a mokoro, they are stepping back in time to connect with who we all really are. The mokoro, not the motorboat, will teach you the formative power of the human experience in the wilderness.
It provides an authentic and immersive glimpse into life on the fringes of the Okavango Delta, featuring culture, stunning scenery, mokoro rides, as well as encounters with wildlife – from small birds to the mighty elephant. A variety of game may be spotted in this pristine wilderness area, including elephant, hippo, crocodile, giraffe, kudu, impala and zebra – to name a few. Your experience will be led or hosted by professional guides who will provide you with insights into daily life in a place where wildlife and humans coexist in close proximity.
The Big Five Bush Safaris runs all its mokoro trips through the Okavango Kopano Mokoro Community Trust (OKMCT) who control the use of a large area of the delta and who set the guide and community fees for mokoro activities. The mokoro dugout canoe experience is an integral part of these activities, bird watching is excellent. This tour commences and ends in Maun.
