A traditional mokoro is a long, narrow canoe. It's carved from a tree trunk. You sit low in the mokoro. Your guide stands at the back. They use a long pole to steer and propel. This allows navigation through narrow channels. It also reaches shallow areas inaccessible to larger boats. The experience is typically guided by local polers. They possess generations of Delta knowledge. Consequently, they can spot wildlife and navigate safely.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Travel (The prime season for Mokoro (Canoe) Safaris Okavango is during the Delta's flood season, from May to October. Water levels are highest, allowing for extensive exploration of the labyrinthine channels. This period also concentrates wildlife around water sources, enhancing viewing opportunities. Wildlife viewing is exceptional throughout the year, but the flood season offers the most magical mokoro experience.)

High Season

High Season (May - October) (This is the dry season and also the peak flood season for the Okavango Delta. Water levels are at their highest, making mokoro excursions the primary mode of transport and exploration. Game viewing is excellent as animals congregate around permanent water sources. Lodges are at full capacity, and prices reflect this peak demand. Booking well in advance is highly recommended for the best lodge choices.)
