- We depart from Sedia Riverside Hotel at 0700hrs after an early breakfast, heading by safari vehicle into the south east region of the Okavango Delta.
- There is a choice of Mokoro station we can normally use, either Xaraxao, Boro or Ditshipi.
- The Xaraxao mokoro station lies on a tributary of the Boro River and contains smallish scenic lagoons adjacent to extensive floodplains. Driving time to Xaraxao is just under one and a half hours from Sedia Riverside Hotel. Scenically the drive may offer a little game viewing en route.
- Afro Trek Safaris prefer to go to Xaraxao where we experience a more aquatic ambience and have, over many years, developed a good personal relationship with the polers which is reflected in a more personal mokoro trail experience for guests.
- The transfer to Xaraxao is in customised safari vehicles with rear mounted game viewing seats beneath a canvas canopy.
- The drive to the mokoro mooring station on the Boro River will take around one hour. The transfer is in customised safari vehicles with rear mounted game viewing seats beneath a canvas canopy.
- On arrival at the mokoro station you will meet your poler guide / polers for the day. Seats are placed in the mekoro for a more comfortable experience. The polers will steer us through this serene area of narrow reed lined channels which open out onto beautiful lagoons.
- After arriving at one of the many secluded islands which make up this fragile yet dynamic, unique eco-system, a guided bush walk may be taken with the guide.
- The most rewarding and enjoyable way to explore and experience the beauty and serenity of this intricate system of lily covered channels and lagoons, which make up the Okavango Delta, is undoubtably by Mekoro, which glide quietly and effortlessly through the whispering papyrus of the shallow water channels, the quietness and gentle pace of the mokoro offers a truly magical way of experiencing the beauty and tranquility of the Okavango Delta.
- The Mokoro Trails offers a snapshot view of the traditional mode of transport utilized for hundreds of years by the Bayei and the Hambukushu tribes people living in the area.
- Although the mokoro trails 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.
- After the bush walk which could be for an hour or longer if required, return by mokoro through the channels back to the mekoro mooring station for the transfer back to the Sedia Riverside Hotel.
