Moremi Game Reserve
1 - 3Days

Moremi Game Reserve

Arrive independently to Maun International Airport where your adventure begins. From here you will take your included charter flight to Xakanaxa Airstrip close to the iconic Moremi Game Reserve in the eastern extremity of the Okavango Delta. Your accommodation here will be the welcoming Camp Moremi which is situated on the picturesque Xakanaxa Lagoon within the Game Reserve and is a wildlife haven, with incredible game viewing opportunities all year-round.

The Moremi Game Reserve is all about searching for big game; where the habitats are as diverse as the wildlife itself. Water-adapted antelopes and wary-eyed buffaloes spill out into floodplains, behind towering woodlands where leopards hide on the high branches. Dead trees cast silhouettes over elephant-filled savannas a stone’s throw from papyrus-fringed channels stretching out to the delta beyond. When you arrive in the Moremi Game Reserve, it’s anyone’s guess what you’ll find lurking in the long grass. From wild dogs stalking waterbucks to long sunsets by a hippo-filled lagoon, the scenes will live on in memory long after the journey home.

The activities on offer here are designed to bring you up-close to this, with game drives in open safari vehicles allowing you to explore the diverse range of habitats within the reserve – from open floodplains to belts of mopane woodland. For a different perspective, you can venture out onto the open waters of the Okavango by motorboat, visiting the Xakanaxa Lagoon and beyond up to the seasonal heronry at Gadikwe.
