at are devoid of vegetation. When these areas flood they fill with
water and form channels suitable for the Mokoros. Quite often the channels are
still used by wild animals, especially wandering elephant and herds of water
loving antelope such as red lechwe. The channels divide the Delta into small
islands, on one of which you will set up your camp. These islands are grazed
by animals such as zebra, giraffe, elephant etc until predators, such as Lion,
come hunting followed by scavengers, such as jackals and hyena.Don't worry, all of the trips that establishment run are lead by qualified guides who have lived in the delta their whole lives, so you will be well looked after. Delta Rain has been here for over 10 years doing these trips and there are a few little extra things that establishment have implemented to ensure your safety and to make sure that a good time is had by all. Establishment use a private concession area that is run by a trust of local people. The nice thing about working directly with the trust is that establishment support the Indigenous people at a 'grass roots' level. It makes it that much nicer when you can actually see the benefits going right back into the community. In this concession area there are two rivers that establishment can use, the Boro and the Ditshipi rivers. Delta Rain has radio contact with both of these rivers, so just in case something was to go wrong establishment will be able to be reached in an emergency. Establishment are the only company operating mokoro trips into the delta that has direct radio contact with the mokoro stations.
