Day 5 – Okavango Delta Excursion
The most rewarding and enjoyable way to explore and experience the beauty and serenity of this intricate system of lily covered channels and
lagoons is by mokoro. Heading out early, we will be transferred by safari vehicle to the poling station (approximately 1 hour transfer) where we
will meet the polers who will be escorting us into the Delta. The polers will steer us through the serene area of narrow, reed lined channels which
open out onto beautiful lagoons. Reaching one of the many islands, a nature walk may be taken with your poler. After the walk, we return by
mokoro through the channels back to the poling station. While the mokoro trail is not primarily a game viewing activity, a variety of game may be
spotted in this pristine wilderness area, including elephant, giraffe, kudu, impala and zebra.
