Botswana The mokoro is a su per way to glide across the waters of the Okavango Delta. We used a fibre glass mokoro, which was a bit lighter than the traditional wooden one, but we had to be careful not to make any sudden moves (like turning around when glancing backwards), as it would've capsized the mokoro very easily. I have to admit I was happy not to encounter hippos as they probably would've capsized the mokoro simply by staring at it! I was happy just enjoying the lovely papyrus scenery...
