Okuti Introduces Mokoro Trips

For the first time, guests staying at Okuti Camp in the renowned Moremi Game Reserve can enjoy one of Botswana’s most iconic safari experiences — a mokoro trip.

The mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, forms an important part of Botswana’s culture and history. Originally, local communities carved mokoros from indigenous trees. Today, many operators use eco-friendly fibreglass mokoros to help protect the environment.

Guided by experienced polers, guests move quietly through the peaceful waterways of the Okavango Delta. As a result, they experience the wilderness from a completely different perspective.

Okuti mokoro trips offer one of the most peaceful ways to explore the waterways of the Okavango Delta. In addition, these trips allow guests to enjoy the smaller details of the Delta at a slower pace.

Exploring the Okavango Delta by Mokoro

Why the Moremi Game Reserve is a Must-Visit

Located in the northeastern reaches of the Okavango Delta, the Moremi Game Reserve is one of Africa’s most sought-after safari destinations. The reserve is known for its exceptional wildlife, diverse habitats, and breathtaking scenery.

Moremi combines open floodplains, lagoons, and dense woodlands, creating a rich and varied safari environment. As a result, visitors enjoy outstanding game viewing throughout the year.

Guests regularly encounter elephants, lions, leopards, and African wild dogs. In addition, the reserve offers some of the best birdwatching in Botswana, with more than 400 recorded bird species.

A New Chapter at Okuti

The introduction of mokoro trips at Okuti adds a new dimension to the safari experience. Guests can now connect with the Delta’s peaceful beauty in a more intimate and eco-friendly way.

As mokoros glide quietly through the reeds, guests discover the smaller wonders of the Okavango Delta. Colourful frogs cling to papyrus stalks, dragonflies move across the water, and water birds gather along the channels.

In addition, the slower pace allows guests to fully appreciate the sounds, colours, and tranquillity of the Delta.

This new activity makes Okuti even more special. It combines luxury accommodation and exceptional wildlife encounters with one of Botswana’s most timeless safari traditions.

Guests can also explore more about the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve before planning their safari.
