Traditional Mokoro on the Okavango

A peaceful and culturally rich photograph of a traditional mokoro canoe neing rowed in the shallow, reed-lined waters near Popa Falls. Traditionally carved from the hollowed-out trunks of massive leadwood or sausage trees, many modern "mekoro" (plural) are now crafted from fiberglass to preserve Namibia's ancient riverine forests. The image captures the slender, low-profile design of the vessel, which allows it to glide silently through thick papyrus and lily pads
