Female Mokoro polers changing stereotypes in Botswana's Okavango Delta

In the heart of Botswana's enchanting Okavango Delta, a remarkable change is taking place.

The traditional role of poling - the skill of steering a Mokoro canoe though the shallow waters - has long been dominated by men.

But today Cindy Mothogaathobogwe, a female poler, is challenging stereotypes while guiding tourists on a unique wildlife safari.
