Moremi Safari Trips & Tours

Enter the heart of the animal kingdom in Moremi, a glittering landscape where safari dreams come true.
Smack bang in the heart of the iconic Okavango is Moremi Game Reserve. Proclaimed in 1963, a project spearheaded by the local Bat’wana people, it incorporates 5,000 square-kilometres of prime Delta real estate: floodplains, pans and lagoons, sprawling grasslands and thick forests of acacia trees, and tiny palm islands encircled by myriad waterways that shimmer in the sunlight. Over the years, the area has been well-protected and the wildlife is an ever-present reminder of how a wilderness area could (and should) be. With no walking safaris or night drives available (aside from at the lodges along the Khwai River), game drives are the name of the game, and they’ll reveal ever-present herds of impala and tsessebe, as well as buffalo, zebra and elephant. On the watery banks of the river live sitatunga and lechwe, whilst fish flitter below the surface and over 400 species of birds above it. Then there are the big cats. Lion and leopard are both frequent sightings, and no area is better for it than Moremi’s two landmasses: the ultra-exclusive Chief’s Island and the Mopane Tongue, a peninsula that merges into a glorious wetland network. But really, there are no ‘stars’ here – this is Moremi, one of the finest wilderness areas in the world.
Things to do

What to do in Moremi

The safari superstar of Southern Africa, the Okavango Delta sets the standard, and Moremi is one of its most wildlife-rich corners. Experiences are largely water- or land-based, largely influenced by the lodge’s geography, some of which are situated on Chief’s Island, private isles and the Mopane Tongue peninsula. On the water, iconic mokoro safaris lead the way and are in their prime from April to October. Boat safaris are also possible but exploring at eye-level in the small, dugout mokoros is magical, taking you closer to the wildlife congregating on the banks, rafts of hippo and lurking crocodile, and a bevy of birdlife including the elusive pink-throated longclaw and Pel’s fishing owl. Wildlife-wise, red lechwe and aquatic sitatunga are highlights. On land, day and night time game drives will be a central focus and have you flexing your binos. Four out of the Big Five are common (not rhino), as well as zebra, impala and tsessebe. For big cats, daytime sightings are fantastic, but head out at night to catch some of the real action when leopards, lions and hyenas are on the hunt. Make time for a walking safari to get into the nitty gritty of the animal kingdom and admire the juicy scenery. There’s also the option to add hot air balloon flights or a spot of fishing to your itinerary.
