Mokoro encounter





Xigera is a "water camp" surrounded by miles and miles of channels, rivers and lakes. The first night we went out on a mokoro ride. Our poler was Orbet, who was very knowledgeable and capable, which came in handy when we turned the bend and encountered the elephant shown above. He wasn't happy to be surprised, so trumpeted and charged out into the water at us. We got the message, and Orbet got us out of there in a hurry. An exciting way to begin our stay at this beautiful camp.
