Moremi is the only protected area within the Okavango Delta, offering a perfect blend of permanent water and dry land habitats for diverse wildlife viewing.
Moremi Game Reserve occupies the heart of the Okavango Delta, protecting the only portion of this magnificent ecosystem under formal conservation. The result is wildlife viewing that rivals anywhere in Africa, with the added magic of the Delta's waterways and floodplains providing an unmatched setting.

The reserve's diverse habitats�from permanent lagoons to mopane woodlands, from floodplains to dry savannah�support an extraordinary variety of species. Moremi's wild dog population is one of the healthiest in Africa, offering excellent opportunities to observe these endangered predators. Lion prides hunt buffalo across the grasslands, while leopards prowl the tree lines at dawn and dusk.
Chief's Island, rising from the Delta's waters, represents the ultimate Okavango experience. Accessible by boat or light aircraft, this palm-studded paradise hosts some of Africa's finest safari camps. Game drives here can transition seamlessly into water activities as the terrain shifts from land to channel.
The intersection of ecosystems creates remarkable photography opportunities. A single morning might yield elephants silhouetted against sunrise, hippos yawning in golden light, wild dogs hunting across a floodplain, and a leopard descending a sausage tree as the day warms. Moremi is, quite simply, one of Africa's greatest wildlife destinations.
