Mokoro Excursions
Mokoros, local dugout canoes, offer a different perspective of
the bush in the company of a highly trained local guide. Each June
the whole area around the camp floods and turns the Okavango Delta
into a labyrinth of lily-filled lagoons and streams where hippos
fight for bathing rights and crocodiles wait for unwary antelope to
linger too long over a drink. Poling through the byways created by
the floodwaters is a magical experience that allows guests to get
very close to the biggest of game and to see the world from a
totally different angle. As a change from a game drive, the quiet,
gentle pace of a mokoro is a real introduction to a way of
transport still used in the Delta by the 'river bushmen' or BaYei
people.
