Moremi Game Reserve

Located in the eastern part of the Okavango Delta in northwest Botswana, the nearly 1,930-square-mile Game Reserve was created in 1963 by the Batawana tribe and named after their chief, Moremi.

Widely acknowledged for its variety of diverse habitats that range from forests and woodlands to lagoons and floodplains, the Game Reserve is also well known for its predator population, which includes leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs, spotted hyenas and a large resident pride of lions. Large herds of antelopes, zebras, buffalo and elephants can also be seen roaming the land.

The Reserve is one of the leading wildlife areas and is mostly described as one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa. Boasting dense concentrations of game at any time of the year, the Moremi Game Reserve supports a wide range of habitats from riparian woodlands, floodplains, reed beds, permanent wetland through mopane and acacia forests to dry savannahs and secluded lagoons.

It is the great diversity of plant and animal life that makes Moremi so well known. The Moremi reserve contains within its boundaries approximately twenty percent of the Okavango Delta. Visitors must take special precautions against malaria and Bilharzia.
