Moremi Game Reserve

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.

Moremi has a number of great safari lodges, most notably Camp Moremi, Xakanaxa Camp and Khwai River Lodge just on the outskirts of Moremi. Okuti Camp is also in the Moremi Game Reserve but we are hesitant to recommend this camp. These camps all use the network of roads within the reserve for game drives, and the game viewing is excellent. No off-road driving or night drives are permitted inside Moremi. However, Khwai River Lodge has access to a small private concession area just outside Moremi, where they can do night drives. In general in Botswana, you will find that the lodges situated inside the national parks and government game reserves are less expensive, and offer no night drives or off-road driving, and usually no bush walks. The lodges that are situated in private concession areas are generally more expensive and they can offer night drives, bush walks and are able to drive off-road during game drives.

Moremi Game Reserve is wild, remote and beautiful, and offers some of the best game viewing in Southern Africa. We can highly recommend it.
