5Wonderful canoe trip at the Okavango Delta
Very good experience. The tour guide at the Okavango Canoe was so knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the culture, the animals, and the land. We saw elephants, hippos, alligators, etc. The flowers/water lilies were beautiful. Amazing experience to see all these in a canoe. Really recommend the trip. Very calm and tranquil.
5Mokoro in the delta
Great experience in the delta. Do’t expect to paddle, you are in a traditional Mokoro with a poleman.
3Canoe trip was good, hippo experience was good but lack of other animals was disappointing.
Trip was good but drive out was too long compared to other freinds who went with other providers.
5A Peaceful and Unforgettable Okavango Delta Mokoro Experience
The 1 Day Okavango Delta Mokoro/Canoe Daytrip is a truly unique experience that allows travelers to connect with nature in one of the most peaceful and untouched places in the world. Gliding silently through the crystal-clear channels of the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro offers a different kind of adventure — calm, authentic, and unforgettable. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, birds, and wildlife, visitors can fully relax and enjoy the magic of the Delta away from the noise of everyday life. One of the most special parts of this activity is the sense of peace it provides. The gentle movement of the canoe, the sounds of nature, and the breathtaking scenery create a calming atmosphere that helps guests feel refreshed and connected to the environment. It is not only an adventure but also a chance to experience tranquility and appreciate the natural beauty of Botswana in a very personal way. The experience is made even better by the excellent guides and drivers who are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the journey. They ensure guests feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while sharing interesting information about the Delta, its culture, and wildlife. Their passion and hospitality make the trip even more memorable and enjoyable for every traveler.
5Must Do
The safari vehicle ride there - so interesting. You would never guess so many people are living back in those woods. Aboard the canoe, relax, enjoy birds and day lilies, and ask whatever you want. Our guide, SchoolBoy, was a virtual encyclopedia of Botswana. We saw hippos, gnus, antelope, large giraffe groups, and a poacher's snare. Others in our group saw elephants. Picnic lunch by Nando's. Perfection.
4An absolutely serene...
An absolutely serene experience, which was closer to a meditation. Despite being told that we may not see any wildlife, we came across loads of animals, from giraffes to zebras to wildebeest to hippos. Shout-out to Morks, who was the best guide, sharing ample knowledge and humour. My only complaint is that this was quite an expensive tour, which was probably worth the money, yet we were still expected to tip our guides at the end. It makes me feel like the company is not distributing the money fairly to those who deserve it the most.

About Maun
Maun, on the edge of the Kalahari in northern Botswana, is the gateway town for the Okavango Delta and the wildlife reserves around it.
Maun lies on the Thamalakane River at the southern edge of the Okavango Delta, a dry-land town that has grown into the safari hub of Botswana. Its streets are low and spread out, with shops, markets and a busy airport where light planes leave for lodges and airstrips across the delta. It has long been the main town of the Batawana people and of the cattle country of Ngamiland.
