Moremi, located about (60km) from Maun, is a 3,000 sq km paradise set in the middle of the Okavango Delta in one of the world’s most pristine wilderness areas. The reserve was proclaimed in 1963 and consists of a network of waterways surrounding two main islands; Chief’s Island in the west and the Sandveldt Tongue in the east. Some of the diverse ecosystems found here include mopane forest, flood plains, wetlands and reed beds, riverine woodland and dry savannah woodland. The reserve offers a diverse variety of wildlife and bird species (approx. 550). The Moremi offers exceptional game viewing throughout the year.

Moremi can be reached by air or road via Maun. A self-drive safari should only be considered by the experienced four-wheel-drive enthusiasts and only during the dry months. The roads turn to sandy tracks once inside the reserve and not for the faint-hearted. The reserve has three serviced campsites which are unfenced and offer a real wilderness experience.

Other options include mobile safaris where you traveling in small groups, led by a guide and camping at private bush camps set aside for exclusive use by these safari operators. Fly-in lodge safaris offer more comfort and exclusivity. One of the most popular ways to travel to these lodges is by light aircraft. Activities at the lodges include game drives, boat trips on the delta and mokoro rides (dug out canoe) through the channels and lagoons.
