Sense of Nature 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 safari activities. This community use this part of the delta for fishing, reed cutting and the harvesting of water lily bulbs. The mokoro is an integral part of these activities. This tour commences and ends in Maun.

This activity is conducted by local mokoro community guides. Your qualified guide will take you in a mokoro (the traditional aquatic mode of transport, dugout canoe) through the water channels of the delta while you relax and enjoy listening to bird calls. You will also go for a guided bush walk on an island in the delta where you may encounter wildlife at ground level.

The bird-life in the delta is spectacular. A variety of game may be spotted in this pristine wilderness area, including elephant, giraffe, kudu, impala, zebra, hippo and crocodile – to name a few.

What's Included

We will take with us a packed lunch, bottled water and soft drinks. We will set up a lunch picnic on an island and enjoy breath-taking views of the area and return to Maun in the late afternoon.

    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.
