Responsible travel:
As this trip involves camping in the open bush, it is important to know that our motto, “we leave nothing behind but our footprints,” is taken very seriously. Furthermore, with these trips, we support the local population by hiring them as guides.
With this trip, we are supporting the Khama Rhino Sanctuary project, the Okavango Polers community, and local Botswana park guides. In recent years, tourism in Botswana has taken off.
This means, among other things, that more mokoros are needed to transport tourists in the Delta.
This means that more trees must be felled each year to meet demand. Mokoros made from hollowed-out tree trunks last for about 4-5 years.
The tour operator you are travelling with has agreed with the polers they work with that, when a new mokoro needs to be purchased, it will no longer be made from tree trunks but from fibreglass, and that 50% of the costs will be sponsored by the tour operator.
As a traveller on this journey, you are helping to conserve nature in Botswana.
