Water
is the backbone of the tourism sector in the Okavango Delta and it looks like
2019 will be one of the driest years for the tourism sector and resident communities.
A dugout canoe (Mokoro) community run tour
service operated by Okavango Kopano Mokoro Community Trust is feeling
the pinch of climate change induced river drying.
About 300
Mokoro polers from Boro and Xharaxao boat stations enrolled under their Mokoro tour community project are facing displacement due to drying rivers
in their areas.
The
dry season pose a threat for the thriving boat cruising sector. It looks like
little supply will arrive in to Botswana from Angola this year. Bad year ahead. Climate change is real.
