The itinerary

Day 01

Half-Day Mokoro Excursion in the Okavango Delta

Take a 3-hour mokoro day tour operated out of Maun, typically beginning with an open 4x4 drive to the Buffalo Fence before hopping into the canoes.

Enjoy wildlife viewing as you get incredibly close to water-adapted wildlife, smaller amphibians, and aquatic birds.

Soak up nature at a slower pace and glide across mirrors of water.

Very little beats the tranquillity of gliding through narrow water channels in the company of smaller amphibians like reed frogs and dragonflies that you would usually miss out on.

Know before you go

This tour includes a mokoro canoe tour and a guided walking safari, so a moderate level of fitness is required.
This tour is not about big game viewing. Although you will usually see a few animals (general game), the main focus is on showing you the landscape of the Okavango Delta watersystem and the islands.
If you are all about seeing as many animals as possible, then this tour is not for you. For the best game-viewing opportunities, you should book motorized activities such as a game drive in a 4x4 vehicle.
