Mokoro safari in the Okavango Delta by NatashavonGeldern

The central Botswana town of Maun is the best jumping off point for exploring the incredible Okavango Delta, a vast wetland teeming with animal and birdlife. The traditional way to get a close look at the Delta is by going on a water-bourne safari in a mokoro – a dug-out canoe made by hand from the trunk of a large tree. http://tinyurl.com/32hsjx9

I grew up here, spending 14 years of my life in the capital city, Gaborone. I love it, and Africa’s slow easy rhythm and the smell of dry earth freshly sprinkled with rain never leaves you.

I finally secured my internship so I’ll be heading to Gabarone for the first time this summer!

I am soooo excited and should get a chance to explore the southern part of the continent a little while I’m there (defintely jozi, cape town and maybe even Victoria falls).

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Botswana by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Largely untouched by human hand, Botswana is home to one of the world's great natural phenomena, the tranquil Okavango Delta, a 15,000-sq.-km (5,850-sq.-mile) inland flood plain that fans out in the northwestern corner of the country, creating a paradise of palms, papyrus, and crystal-clear channels and backwaters. Set in a massive sea of desert sand, this fragile wonderland of waterways, islands, and forests is an oasis for wildlife, drawn to its life-giving waters from the surrounding thirstlands. Here, the evening air is filled with the sounds of birds calling, frogs trilling, and antelope rustling in the reeds. Wildebeest, hartebeest, buffalo, and zebra roam the islands; elephants wade across channels guarded by hippos and crocs; and predators rule the night. (read article)
