Description
Discover the Okavango Delta by air and water with a private doors-off helicopter flight from Maun, and a traditional mokoro safari through tranquil channels and lagoons.
Flying at low altitudes over the floodplains of the south-western Okavango Delta this 45-minute total flight time with scenic en-route to our remote mokoro station offers an oversight of a complex network of channels and lagoons, where you will be met by your experienced guide from the local community. A mokoro is a traditional dugout canoe propelled through the shallow waters of the Delta by talented and agile guides standing in the stern and pushing with an Nkashi (pole). Mokoros offer a serene and almost silent glide through flooded vegetation, where you can find tiny reed frogs, picturesque waterlilies and various waterbirds with the occasional opportunity to look up at wildlife on the banks of a channel. Once returned from your mokoro experience, your helicopter pilot will transfer you back to Maun.
Highlights
- Experience two iconic Botswana adventures in one trip.
- Glide through the Okavango Delta with expert local polers.
- Spot the Delta's unrivalled birdlife and wildlife from helicopter and mokoro.
