Tour Description
Wake up to the sound of singing birds and the roar of a distant lion while first rays of sunlight turn the dark night into a golden burst of color. Your tour guide will take you through far stretching landscapes and ever-changing sceneries while you can enjoy some good African music. Be on the lookout for wildlife crossing the road and with some luck may have to give ‘right of way’ for some elephants. You arrive at your next destination and you will go and see many antelopes and some big game up close. After the excitement, a refreshing siestas at the camp spot with some relaxation under the shades of huge trees. At sunset, this landscape shows its most beautiful side. Make some time to watch this natural wonder of changing colors see how shadows grow longer; listen to the howling of the jackal calling in the ending of another adventurous day in Botswana. Time for dinner around a roaring campfire complimented by fine wine. Finally, fully satisfied, fall asleep under the starry sky and the sound of chirping crickets knowing that Botswana waits for tomorrow, with more adventures and unforgettable memories.
Day 1 Maun to Okavango Delta 1 night/2 days.
Departure from Maun approximately 0730hrs after breakfast, the exact departure time is agreed with the guests the night before the activity. Bottled water, drinks and beer, guest must buy before the departure day. Scenically the drive may offer a little game viewing en route. On arrival at the mokoro station you will meet your poler guides / polers for the day. The polers will paddle you through this serene area of narrow reed lined channels in traditional dug-out mokoro, floating through the waterways which open out onto beautiful lagoons. After arriving at one of the many secluded islands, which make up this fragile yet dynamic, unique eco-system we make camp and have lunch, followed by a guided bush walk after relaxing in camp.
The most rewarding and enjoyable way to see and experience the beauty and serenity of the intricate system of lily covered channels and lagoons, which make up the Okavango Delta, is undoubtable by Mokoro, which glide quietly and effortlessly through the whispering papyrus of the shallow water channels. The Mokoro Trails offers a snapshot view of the traditional mode of transport utilized for hundreds of years by the Bayei tribe’s people living in the area. Although the mokoro trails is not primarily a game viewing activity, a variety of game may be spotted in this pristine wilderness area including, hippos, elephant, giraffe and zebra.
The opportunity to swim in a safe location will be offered as well as time to try and master poling a Mokoro.
After the bush walk, we can relax and unwind in the camp, refresh and take another mokoro in the afternoon, enjoy sunset in the delta and later take dinner under the stars before zipping into cosy tents and retiring to the sounds of the wild.
