Silently gliding through shallow channels and lily-covered lagoons, mokoro excursions offer unparalleled opportunities for wildlife photography and bird watching. Expert polers guide these peaceful journeys through papyrus forests and over submerged floodplains, providing intimate encounters with the smaller inhabitants of the delta while maintaining the authentic character that distinguishes Camp Okavango from other delta camps.
