Moremi Game Reserve

Moremi Game Reserve is one of Africa’s most iconic and rewarding safari destinations, situated on the eastern edge of Botswana’s world-famous Okavango Delta. Established in 1963, it was the first wildlife reserve in Africa to be created by local residents who recognised the need to protect the region’s extraordinary natural heritage. Today, Moremi remains a shining example of successful conservation and offers visitors an authentic wilderness experience unlike any other.

Covering a remarkable diversity of habitats, Moremi encompasses permanent waterways, seasonal floodplains, lily-covered lagoons, acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and dense mopane forests. This rich variety of ecosystems supports an incredible abundance of wildlife and makes the reserve one of the most biologically diverse protected areas in Southern Africa.

Wildlife viewing in Moremi is exceptional throughout the year. Visitors have the opportunity to encounter large herds of elephants and buffalo, while predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, and the endangered African wild dog thrive within the reserve. Giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, red lechwe, impala, kudu, and numerous other antelope species are commonly seen. The waterways are home to hippos and crocodiles, while the reserve’s birdlife is equally impressive, with over 400 species recorded, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.

The reserve’s ever-changing landscapes are shaped by the seasonal floodwaters of the Okavango Delta, creating spectacular scenery and attracting wildlife from far and wide. Guests can explore this pristine wilderness on expertly guided game drives, mokoro excursions, or boat safaris, each offering a unique perspective of the reserve’s natural beauty.

Moremi Game Reserve combines breathtaking landscapes, remarkable biodiversity, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, making it one of Botswana’s premier safari destinations and a must-visit location for anyone seeking a truly immersive African safari experience.
