The mokoro has become the iconic symbol of the Delta and is a popular way for visitors to explore the Okavango while on safari. Originally, the only form of transport for fishing and for moving people and goods along the channels was a canoe-like vessel, approximately 20 feet (6 meters) in length, crafted from tree trunks that were painstakingly hollowed out with hand tools. However, timber ultimately rots, resulting in more trees having to be cut down, a practice which is not environmentally sustainable. So, in keeping with the times, the modern mokoro is constructed from molded fibre-glass. Durable, long-lasting and environmentally friendly, it still maintains its character - the serene, dream-like gliding through the papyrus waterways will leave a lasting impression on you. The mokoro usually carries one or two passengers, while the boat-man stands at the stern using a long pole called a "nkashi", to pole or push the mokoro forward. Local boat-men are able to move with considerable speed and maneuverability as many have perfected this lifelong skill. The skilled locals who operate the mokoro are commonly known as 'Polers'.
