This peaceful, nature-immersive safari introduces you to one of Africa’s most extraordinary ecosystems.

As you head to the mokoro station (approx. 1-hour drive), enjoy sightings of the bush and possibly some wildlife along the way. 08:00 – Meet Your Guide & Poler On arrival at the mokoro launch point, you'll be introduced to your guide and experienced poler who will be with you throughout the trip.
