Moremi protects the eastern third of the Okavango Delta, a rare blend of permanent water and dry land that makes it astonishingly rich in wildlife. Big cats, elephant, buffalo and the endangered wild dog all thrive here. It was the first reserve in Africa to be created by local people, and remains one of the finest places to go on safari anywhere.

Why go

What makes Moremi Game Reserve special

Big cats and wild dogs

Land and water in one

Permanent water and dry land side by side means game drives and mokoro trips on the same trip.

A conservation first

Moremi was the first reserve in Africa created by local people, the Batawana, to protect their wildlife.

Classic Delta scenery

Floodplains, lagoons and islands of palms and fig trees, with wildlife around every corner.

When to go

Best time to visit Moremi Game Reserve

The dry season from May to October is the classic time, when wildlife gathers and the game viewing is at its best. The green season brings lush scenery, newborn animals and superb birding, and is a lovely quieter time to visit.
