3 jours safari mokoro dans le delta de l’Okavango, Botswana

About the safari

You will visit the Eastern Delta in a community-controlled wilderness area. You work with some of the most experienced polers who have mastered the channels as well as being astute in coexisting with aquatic wildlife. After dinner, you will proceed to the campfire for final relaxation where you will share your stories under the African sky before retreating to tents.

Daily itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to the Okavango Delta

The safari will depart from Audi Camp at 7:00 a.m. for a one-hour boat ride to the mokoro station from where you will board your mokoro for a leisurely trip to the campsite where you will have lunch and enjoy a hard-earned riverside siesta moment. It is truly a wilderness and a great soothing experience. You will get to learn a lot about this amazing ecosystem called the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO heritage site. Sunrise and sunset in this part of the world are sights to behold.

You will then embark on a two-hour late afternoon nature walk. Upon return to the camp, you will be treated to a hot camp shower before proceeding to dinner around a campfire. For Xaa Safaris, campfire forms a critical part of the experience. They will share their heritage with you and you will share yours with them. A telescope will enhance your experience of the night under the stars. You will then retreat to your tent equipped with a stretcher bed, a veranda, and an attached bathroom with a flushable toilet, shower, and sink.

Day 2: Enjoy the Delta

Rise and shine and say hello to a fresh morning over coffee, tea, and risks. You will head out for a three-hour early morning nature walk and come up close and intimate with nature. This is a highly recommended experience to start your day by connecting with nature. It is believed that this sets the tone for the rest of your day as you become one with the environment. Upon return at around 10:00 a.m., you will be treated to a filling brunch. You will then relax and enjoy a siesta moment in the peaceful Delta.

Once you have had a good rest, you will head out for a three-hour mokoro trip arriving back in camp just before sunset. Some guests have meditated along the cruise, some have fallen asleep, and some have been perplexed about the entire experience. Your story is yet to be told. Upon arrival, you will treated to a hot shower in the privacy of your en-suite tent and proceed to enjoy your campfire dinner. By now, you and your guide will be the best of friends after two days of good bonding.

Day 3: Say goodbye to the Delta

Rise and shine to say goodbye to the most amazing landscapes with great memories to carry away. But you are not done yet, as you will once more embark on a morning nature walk for three hours, depending on your fatigue levels. Upon return at around 10:00 a.m., you will have your last brunch before relaxing in the camp.

There might be an opportunity to take a dip in the waters, safety permitting. At this time, you will be just one part of the ecosystem. After such a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you will head back to the mokoro station, on your mokoro as you consolidate your delta experience, where your engine-powered boat will pick you up for a trip to Audi Camp and onward transfer to your hotel.
