We will transfer you to the mokoro station by 4x4 open sided safari vehicle (about an hour) where you will meet your guide and poler. You will glide along myriad water channels, in a mokoro (dug out canoe) looking for wildlife and bird species which inhabit the Delta. There are no facilities out there as you camp on an island chosen by your guide. On arrival your guide will take you for a game walk where you can enjoy awesome sightings and the sound of birdsong; followed by lunch. After lunch you may enjoy a siesta moment in camp to avoid the mid-day heat. Wait for the sunset for the amazing changes in hue that give visitors so much pleasure.
Day 2 & 3
Okavango Delta
An early morning game walk will be available, returning to the camp when ready to enjoy breakfast. After breakfast, the mekoros can be taken again to enjoy the channels, the intricate veins of waterways which interconnect the lagoons, or take a guided bush walk before having lunch or snacks. In the afternoon, the guides will take you in the mekoros to a safe location where swimming is possible in the waters of the Okavango Delta, followed by a chance to learn how to pole a mokoro using the gnashi. After the bush walk, you can relax and unwind in the camp, refresh and take dinner under the milky way starlit skies after which the guides and polers will narrate cultural stories and entertain you with traditional dances which display animal tracking techniques and gathering methods for traditional medicinal purposes. Guests interested in astronomy will be treated to one of the most expansive displays of stars on earth, before retiring in cozy tents for the night and drifting off to the sounds of the wild.
Day 4
Okavango Delta
After enjoying a stunning sunrise, soaking up the peace and serenity of the Okavango Delta, and a light breakfast, the camp crew will break camp before we depart for the downstream return trip arriving at boat station before lunch. Once again your guide will pole you along myriad water channels looking for wildlife and bird species which inhabit the Delta - and because we believe in providing a memorable and relaxed travel experience, the journey will include periodic pauses for your viewing pleasure: all in all simply summed up in one word -Unforgettable. We take pride in creating the perfect experience that is different from others. Once back at the boat station we will transfer you to your place of accommodation in Maun or transfer you to the Airport where you will catch your flight back home.
