2 Day (1 Night) Trip to Moremi

Join us as we embark on a 2 days’ journey to explore the world famous Moremi Game Reserve- a magnificent area where the Okavango Delta meets Terra Firma. The Reserve covers about 5,000 square kilometres (1,900 sq mi) in extent, and is a surprisingly diverse Reserve, combining Mopane woodland and Acacia forests, floodplains and lagoons. Only about 30% of the Reserve is mainland, with the bulk being within the Okavango Delta itself.

This gem of a National Park has garnered a number of important distinctions in the past years as a world destination. It is the first reserve in Africa that was established by local residents. Concerned about the rapid depletion of wildlife in their ancestral lands – due to uncontrolled hunting and cattle encroachment – the Batawana people of Ngamiland, under the leadership of the deceased Chief Moremi III’s wife, Mrs. Moremi, took the bold initiative to proclaim Moremi a game reserve in 1963. This is even before Botswana had her name; let alone recognised as a sovereign country!! Botswana was back then known as Bechuanaland Protectorate and would only gain independence later in 1966 and manifest to what she is now.

Moremi is the only officially protected area of the Okavango Delta, and as such holds tremendous scientific, environmental and conservation importance.

There is therefore no doubt, that Moremi ranks as one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa, possibly in the world. It is home to nearly 500 species of birds (from water birds to forest dwellers), and a vast array of other species of wildlife. To mention a few, expect to encounter:

• Cape Buffalos

• giraffes

• lions

• leopards

• cheetah

• hyaenas

• jackals

• impala, red lechwe and relatives
