Itinerary
Okavango Delta
Botswana’s 15 000 square kilometre wetland, and also the 1000th UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Okavango Delta, is one of the top three iconic natural locations in southern Africa which top every traveller’s bucket list of ‘must-see’ destinations. 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. The Mokoro Full Day Trip 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. We will pick you up around 8am at your accommodation in Maun and drive you to Ditshiping mokoro station (approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes’ drive) and you will spend a lovely day in the delta, learning about this unique ecosystem.
