Delta fisherman, is of a man punting his mokoro which  is a type of canoe used in the Okavango Delta. Mokoros are made by digging out the trunk of a large straight tree, however many are now being made out of fiberglass to save trees.

Traveling by mokoro is a wonderful way of seeing the delta,and many tourists each year experience the pleasures it can bring.The only danger is if you meet up with an angry hippo, which fortunately is rare, for they literally are able, to chomp the mokoro in half.I have traveled in a mokoro a couple of times and have really enjoyed the experience,and was able to view many of the delta jewels up close,like painted reed frogs,waterlilies,and birds.
