Dispatch from the Delta: �Re ja ngashi Mister�

Navigating the Okavango Delta waterways with a mokoro is an advanced skill and only few men alive possess that skill. These waterways transform everyday because of the stomping elephants and hippos. Both of these animals that have found a sanctuary in this incredible wilderness are responsible for creating, opening and blocking these waterways, so even with a GPS it is not simple to navigate the Okavango Delta on a mokoro. That is why travelling through the Okavango with mokoro one needs a human GPS as a guide.

So in 2012 when the Okavango Wilderness Project leader Dr Steve Boyes, who is now a fellow at the National Geographic Society, decided to transact this wilderness on an extensive research expedition, he asked for a guide from the Bayei.
