Moremi Game Reserve
Discover the southwestern reaches of Botswana
Moremi Game Reserve is one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations and forms the heart of Botswana’s world-renowned Okavango Delta. Covering nearly 5,000 square kilometres, the reserve combines permanent waterways, seasonal floodplains, lagoons, forests, and open grasslands to create one of the continent’s richest and most diverse ecosystems. Around 40% of the UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta falls within the reserve, making it one of Botswana’s most important protected areas.
Established in 1963 by the Batawana people to protect their ancestral wildlife, Moremi became the first wildlife reserve in Africa created by a local community. Today, it remains one of Botswana’s greatest conservation success stories, offering exceptional wildlife viewing while preserving the fragile ecosystems that make the Okavango Delta so unique.

The reserve includes:

- Chief’s Island
As a result, every game drive offers something different, from elephant herds crossing floodplains to predators resting beneath ancient leadwood trees.
