What are waterborne African safari activities in Botswana?

One of the most suitable areas for waterborne game drive activities during African safaris is the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Depending on the water level one goes right into the heart of the Okavango and observes the wildlife from a very different perspective. The Mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions are the least intrusive way of exploring the channels of the delta, moving silently with the slender canoe through the water. Another option are the motorboat excursions, offering more space and comfort when going on water game drive with photographic equipment. For the fishing lovers, fishing excursions on catch-and-release basis are available. And even short walks are possible around islands while being on Mokoro or boat excursion.

Waterborne game drives offer access to places and sightings one would otherwise not be able to see. And for wildlife photography lovers they offer a whole spectrum of new photographic opportunities. They make the Okavango Delta an even more spectacular safari destination.

Happy Okavango safari experiences!
