Moremi Game Reserve, nestled in the eastern part of Botswana's Okavango Delta, is one of Africa's most pristine and diverse wildlife sanctuaries. Covering nearly 5,000 square kilometers, Moremi combines lush waterways, dense mopane woodlands, and expansive floodplains, creating a varied and picturesque landscape that supports an incredible array of wildlife. The reserve is renowned for its high concentrations of predators, including lions, leopards, and wild dogs, as well as large herds of elephants, buffalo, and various antelope species. Birdwatchers will also find Moremi to be a paradise, with over 400 bird species, including rare and endangered species like the wattled crane and Pel’s fishing owl.
What sets Moremi Game Reserve apart is its blend of land and water-based game viewing opportunities. Visitors can explore the reserve on traditional game drives, offering close encounters with the abundant wildlife, or take to the water on mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions through the delta’s intricate network of channels. This unique combination provides a truly immersive experience in one of the most ecologically significant and unspoiled regions of Africa.
