HELICOPTER – MOKORO EXCURSIONS

With Helicopter Horizons we now offer the ultimate way to experience the Okavango Delta from the air AND from the water!

A mokoro is a traditional dugout canoe, unique to Botswana, which is propelled through the shallow waters of the Delta by polers that stand in the stern and push with a Ngashe (pole).

A visit to Botswana is not complete without experiencing this unique way to safari through the reeds and channels of the Okavango Delta only accessible by Mokoro.

There are two excursions:

The first one is around Maun. It includes return helicopter transfers to the Mokoro station where experienced guides from the Boro community will share stories, folk-tales and first-hand knowledge of the area’s wildlife as they pole along the unspoiled waterways. The Mokoro trip is approximately 2 hours. Cost is USD 435 per person (minimum 2 persons).

With the second excursion the helicopter will collect you from Omogolo Bush Lodges (or from other lodges in the Okavango Delta) and take you to Mopiri Island, surrounded by crystal clear Delta water on all sides, all year round. Experienced guides from camp will take you along the unspoiled waterways both by motorboat and Mokoro, and will break for lunch on a Palm Island in the middle of the Delta. This excursion runs for approximately 3 hours and includes return helicopter transfers, mokoro excursion and snacks. Cost is USD 770 per person (minimum 2 persons).
