Okavango Delta Helicopter and Mokoro Safari

This trip combines about 45 minutes of doors-off flying, low over the floodplains of the south-western delta, with a 3-hour mokoro (dugout canoe) excursion with a local guide from a remote mokoro station. From the water you may see reed frogs and birdlife among the channels and lagoons. It takes about 3.5 hours in total and is for ages 10 and over. It costs from US$550 per person, private, minimum 2 guests (US$1,100 for two), with juice, water and the departure tax included. The booking is for your group and the pilot only, with a guaranteed window seat for up to 5 guests, depending on the helicopter; the pilot’s live commentary comes through headsets in English only.
