Mokoro Safaris

Perhaps the most tranquil and idyllic safari activity of all, mokoro safaris offer the ultimate means for exploring the beauty and ecological complexity of the Okavango Delta, one of Africa's great natural wonders. Perhaps best described as a cross between a Canadian canoe and a Venetian gondola, mokoros are dug out canoes seating two guests, with a guide standing at the back using a pole to propel the vessel through the Okavango Delta's network of floodplains and channels.

Mokoro guides make a point of staying in shallow water, well away from hippos, elephants, and other dangerous wildlife. This makes mokoro somewhat "tamer" than canoe safaris, and allows guests to relax and focus on the stupendous natural beauty of their surroundings.
