Great day! Mokoro guide was knowledgeable, and had great humour. Also took me on a longer walk, and closer to the animals, than the others I saw in the area

Beautiful one day trip through the Okavanga Delta on a Mokoro! My guide picked me up promptly from my hotel and gave me incredible stories and history of the Maun area as we drove to the Delta.

I had a nice day at the Okavangodelta! They pick you up in the morning. Then it’s around a 1,5 hours drive which I really enjoyed you see already a lot of the nature there. Then we went with the Mokoro which is super beautiful and we had super sweet guides (Mark, Kenny, Cecilia, Brat - not sure if I wrote the names correct ;)) After that we stopped and did around a three hours walking safari where we spotted giraffes and hippos and some other small animals (bokis, eagle,….) Had some lunch and then went back with the mokoro! I would definitely recommend this tour and Shipungo Safari and Tours! See you again hopefully Mark 🤗🙏 SandraMyself and two other girls took a one day canoe tour through the Okavango Delta. It was so beautiful!

Myself and two other girls took a one day canoe tour through the Okavango Delta. It was so beautiful! They came and got us from the hostel, took us on the boat ride to the park, where we got a local tour guide of the delta. We saw many animals and our guides were very very knowledgeable of the Delta. It was such a great day. 100% must do if you are in Maun!
