The mokoro was, for us, a nice change of pace. We were in very shallow water so I did not worry about a hippo or croc. It was fun to glide over the water, quietly, just inches from the reeds, etc.
Do you see a lot that you don't on land rides? Yes, but smaller things, mostly birds (fascinating in their own right, of course). Truthfully, after a while on the land drives, it got to be: "Ho hum, just some more zebra." Hard to imagine, I know!
Will the kids be bored? Possibly, I suppose. We enjoyed hearing the poler talk about the area, the animals, etc. but it was more of a peaceful ride than an exciting one.
Is it safe? Nobody in our party got eaten by a croc. Seriously, I felt very safe. We didn't even get wet.
