Bayei Tribe of BotswanaBayei men will be your polers if you undertake a traditional mokoro safari in the Okavango Delta. These friendly, peaceful people found refuge in the Okavango while moving away from the Mababe area to avoid both the slave-hunters from Angola and the Balozi people of the upper Zambezi floodplains, who were expanding their territorial authority. They have accopied the periphery of the Okavango Delta since the end of the 18th century. Those who lived in the tsetse-fly infected areas of the Okavango Delta subsisted on fish, while the cattle herds were kept on the non-infested fringes. |
