Field Recording: Not Enough Water, So We Harness Up And Pull The Mekoros

Into the Okavango

August 20 2015, 11:59 AM. Madinari island, Okavango Delta. This expedition was often a very trying experience. A mokoro is not so nice when loaded with batteries and lenses and there is no water to float it in. We have harnesses and literally pull it like oxen across the floodplains in search of a channel. Suckage. Though a certain kind of bonding experience as well. Recorded by Brian House (http://brianhouse.net, http://soundcloud.com/brianhouse) for the Okavango Wilderness Project.
