Full-Day Mokoro Experience

A mokoro is a traditional canoe that is propelled by a talented and agile guide who stands in the stern of the mokoro and poles through the unspoiled waterways of the Okavango Delta. The Mokoro Experience offers an almost silent glide through flooded vegetation, where you can find tiny reed frogs, picturesque waterlilies, varied birdlife and enjoy wildlife sightings. Your experienced poler from the local community will share stories of their heritage, and first-hand knowledge of the area’s wildlife. Polers have a lifetime of experience and make the steering and propelling of the mokoro seem effortless. This is a unique experience that allows you to explore the untouched areas of the Okavango Delta that are otherwise inaccessible.

The full-day Mokoro Experience begins in Maun where you will be collected early in the morning and transferred by road to the mokoro station. On arrival at the station, you will be introduced to your poler who will be guiding you through the narrow water channels of the Delta. After a short introduction and briefing, you will head out on your full-day adventure. The morning will be spent gliding through the water, offering fantastic photographic opportunities.

Around midday, a picnic lunch will be served on an island followed by an optional bushwalk guided by your poler. After lunch, you will slowly make your return to the station by mokoro. Here you will meet your vehicle and return to Maun.
