Had a great trip on the mokoro with a local guide called Elijah arranged through Kalahari Breeze. Great communication and planning from Chris and team to help us prepare (eg timings, what to bring etc). Was about 1 hour drive from the hotel to the village. At the village we were met by Elijah to go on the mokoro. On the way out (upstream) the mokoro ride was about 1.5 hours with a few hippo sightings along the way. It’s completely exposed so make sure bring sunscreen / long sleeves! Once we arrived at the island we did a walking safari / hike for about 3 hours. It was quite long in the brutal heat but well worth it as Elijah was able to show us elephants, giraffe and wildebeest - all from afar but still much more than we were expecting. We then had a quick lunch prepared by Chris and team and set off back to the village on the mokoro. The way back was quicker as downstream and just as well after a long day. We got back by about 3:30pm. Overall a great day out and way to experience the Okavango delta. Highly recommend!

I was disappointed with the amount of animals that we saw. Kruger Park is still the best. The guides was great and humorous. Flying banana - yellow hornbill and flying chilli - red hornbill was very original.

Andile is a very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. Unfortunately for us, we were in Johannesburg at a time when many attractions were still closed due to COVID-19. This meant we could not go to the Apartheid museum. Andile did his best to compensate for this. He took us to Soweto Towers instead and gave us a lot of history and background on the Apartheid era, as well as great insight into life in Soweto today. Despite us not being able to do the full tour, I would still recommend this package. Thank you Andile.
