Traditional Mokoro Safari Holidays

Take to the Water

Botswana is rightly lauded as one of the best safari experiences in the world and its unique network of delta and rivers allow for the ultimate wildlife viewing from the water itself. Board a traditional mokoro to serenely navigate the waterways and hear the birdsong as your poler gets you into prime position for the big game to come to you!

The best time to head out in a mokoro is between July and October, when water levels are high and the skies are almost permanently blue. It may seem bizarre but the delta is at its wettest during the height of Botswana's dry weather season. This is because the floodwaters originate more than a thousand kilometres away in the highlands of Angola.
