Xigera Bush Camp is in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. For centuries, the people in nearby villages have got around by poling through the shallow water in dugout canoes called makoros.
My group took a peaceful makoro ride through the reeds, water lilies and water shields.
The water was calm. Birds and reflections were plentiful.

Although constructed differently the shape and size is very similar to the kind of boats used for eel fishing in the fens of East Anglia.

The makoros really do look interesting, especially in the second image, where there is a bunch of them.
