The game reserve is most easily accessed from Kasane, a town just to the east of the park on the banks of the Chobe River, close to the border with Zimbabwe.

The Moremi Game Reserve is one of Botswana's best wildlife destinations. The lodges in the Moremi Game Reserve typically offer a combination of 4x4 game drives as well as boat trips on the waterways of the Okavango Delta. Moremi is a Big Five reserve, although currently only Chief's Island deep in the delta has rhinos, after a successful rhino reintroduction program. In other parts of Moremi, you can expect to see elephants, buffalo, lions and possibly leopards and wild dogs as well. Cheetahs are rare but they do occur here. General game includes giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, lechwe, puku, hartebeest, sable antelope, impala, waterbuck, baboons and monkeys, warthogs and of course hippos and crocodiles, to name just a few.

The Okavango swamps are formed by the annual flooding of the Okavango river, which opens into a vast life-giving oasis in Botswana's desert.
