Mokoro & Helicopter - Combo into the Okavango Delta
Half day trip from Maun to the Okavango Delta
Discovering the wildlife-rich canals of the Okavango Delta with the mokoro, the traditional dugout canoe of Southern Africa, is a unique opportunity that can only be experienced in this part of Botswana.
The activity provider Helicopter Horizons, known for their “Doors Off” helicopter tours, offers a worthwhile combination of helicopter flight and mokoro experience from Maun.
Specifications
Helicopter flight plus mokoro tour from Helicopter Horizons
Starting at Maun airport and flying at low altitude, you will be brought to the remote Mokoro station, located in the southwestern Okavango Delta. Here you get a brief but picturesque impression of the Okavango Delta from a bird's eye view. There will be some worthwhile photography opportunities for you.
At the Mokoro station you will change to the traditional dugout canoes. A journey across the channels, lagoons and flood plains of the Okavango Delta awaits you. An experienced mokoro captain from the local community maneuvers the traditional dugout canoe quietly and almost silently with a nkashi (wooden pole). Here you can enjoy the vegetation and animals in undisturbed silence. Small reed frogs, lots of water birds and larger wild animals such as hippos and elephants on the banks (don't worry, safety is of the utmost importance) are not uncommon. The picturesque water lilies and reed banks offer magical photo opportunities.
Back at the Mokoro station, your pilot will serve you tea and coffee and you can reflect on the impressive experience.
Then you fly back to Maun Airport.
