Helpfulness
No mokoro ride or mokoro camping safari can happen without the help and knowledge of the local people.
On arrival you will be met by a local guide who will chose you as their passenger. You are then asked for your bags, which are loaded onto your mokoro.
These people pole their way across the delta for 2.5 hours before you arrive at your camp site. They are also at your side whenever you need need assistance, They are your guide every day on your walking safaris, They explain how they track animals and what animal leaves what droppings or tracks. When you are hot they take you to a safe area for swimming and when you want to go to the toilet.....They dig the hole!!!!!
MY TIP.....respect these people and pack a little extra into your pack that you can leave with them! A pair of shoes or a t-shirt is worth a lot to these people and when you are delivered safe and sound back at your pick up point give your guide 50 Pula (US$11.00)for his trouble.

We have been living in Africa for so long that it was frankly embarrassing for people who are so passionate about wildlife NOT to have been to the Swamps. So in late 2009, we took advantage of the...
