โ€œFor a place that is filled with so much life, the Okavango Delta was surprisingly quiet as we traversed through its maze-like waterways in narrow mokoro boats. The loudest sound, in fact, was the poles dipping in and out of the water, dripping arrhythmically as the polers propelled the mokoros through reeds and lily pads. Even the mosquitos (of which there were many) were oddly quiet in their buzzing. And yet I knew that life was vibrating all around me.โ€

โ€œFrom there we took a 1-hour trip on the Mokoros, the traditional canoes of the Okavango Delta. Going through so much untouched and quiet nature. We were surrounded by hippos in the water, just meters away from us, going through small waterways of reed.โ€
