The beating heart of the Okavango Delta, the Moremi Game Reserve is an exceptional ecosystem home to a wide range of wildlife thriving in a vast, ever-changing marshland.

Strikingly beautiful, Moremi consists of charming lagoons surrounded by papyrus and palm trees. Its vast floodplains are dotted with beautiful acacia and mopane forests.

With such a diversity of landscapes, it is no surprise that wildlife abounds in this environment far from human activity. Major predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and wild dogs find refuge here alongside huge herds of wildebeest, buffalo, zebra and various species of antelope. The reserve is also a haven for birds, with over 2,000 species recorded.

The Moremi Reserve is a unique paradise for all safari enthusiasts. In addition, self-drivers appreciate its authenticity and the challenging driving conditions of its tracks, especially during the Delta floods.

Size: 22,000 km²
