After decades of lying dry, this remarkable channel reconnects the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti River, bringing life back to a wilderness long silent.
Gliding through its winding waters in a Mokoro, surrounded by lilies, reeds, and the calls of kingfishers and fish eagles, you feel the Delta come alive in every sense. We even stopped for a bush lunch by Bedao Lagoon — and I couldn’t resist a refreshing swim in this revived river system.
This was the longest Mokoro of my guiding career, and a rare opportunity to experience the Selinda Spillway at its peak. Truly a must-do for Maxa Island guests — exploration, immersion, and the Delta at its most magical. •
