Mokoro during these safaris
Hi, hoi, hola, hallo
Safari experiences that you will not find with any other travel company. We know Africa best and will get you to the right place & time to enjoy the greatest shows on Earth!
The mokoro is a flat-bottomed canoe used by local people in Botswana to move around in the shallow waters of the Okavango Delta and Chobe River. Oarsmen stand in the stern and push with a pole. Mokoro is a Setswana term (plural mekoro).
Mokoro safaris are a popular activity for tourists. Glide down water channels and view life from a unique low perspective (great for photography!) as you look out for colourful birds, frogs and rarely-seen species such as otters and sitatungas. Watch this video.
Mekoro were traditionally made from large straight trees such as African ebony and sausage trees, but these days they are usually made from fibreglass.
The safaris below are to areas where mokoro outings are possible when water levels are high enough. Speak to your teamAG consultant about water levels during your safari
