Dawn slips across ribboned water as a poler eases a mokoro away from a narrow island; birds quarrel in reeds and the campfire smoke curls into a cool Botswana morning. You arrive by speedboat from Maun, meet guides from the Okavango Mokoro Community Trust and step into a dugout canoe that rides the slow pulse of the delta.
