Mokoro excursion in the Khwai Community Concession

Glide silently over the Khwai River on a traditional mokoro excursion, just centimetres above the water’s surface. Poled along by a skilled local guide, this aquatic safari in a dugout canoe navigates through papyrus-lined channels, offering an intimate, eco-friendly way to discover the wildlife and vegetation of this unique ecosystem without disturbing it. The gentle swaying of the mokoro and the rhythmic sound of poles dipping into the water create a soothing melody that harmonizes with nature, and wildlife suddenly feels wonderfully close – from elephants on the banks to hippos, fish eagles and vibrant kingfishers. This slow-paced safari reveals the Khwai Concession at its most magical.
