Where the Delta meets the wild
Moremi Game Reserve is considered by many as one of Africa's most outstanding wildlife areas, covering 4,871 km², including a considerable section of the Okavango Delta. Mopane trees dominate the dry lands of the Moremi and the remainder of the reserve is a combination of floodplain grasses, sandveld, riverine woodland, and areas of permanent delta. As well as the usual larger mammals and plains game, Moremi is excellent for Red Lechwe and Sitatungu, both water-loving antelope.

Why visit Moremi Game Reserve?
A wildlife sanctuary like no other
Named after Chief Moremi, the local BaTawana people set aside one third of the Delta to protect it for future generations in 1963. It consists of a wide variety of habitats and support large concentrations of wildlife, including one of the largest populations of the endangered African wild dog (Cape hunting dog / Painted dog).
This region is where land meets the Okavango's permanent waters and includes Khwai River, Xakanaxa Lagoon and Third Bridge; these destinations can be reached by 4x4 vehicle, but is not to be attempted by standard vehicle. However, the road conditions may become difficult during a heavy rainy season and the park may be closed due to this. Access by land is from either the North or the South Gate roads.
Best Times To Visit Moremi Game Reserve
Delta seasons, timeless wildlife
Moremi is a year-round safari destination, but its experiences vary with the Delta’s flood cycle.
- ➡ June to October:
-
The dry season and in particular from June to October is the best time to visit Moremi Game Reserve, as game viewing is at its peak. At this time seasonal pans dry up and the wildlife concentrates on the permanent water.
- ➡ May to August:
-
The winter months of May to August can be cold at night, but pleasantly warm during the day. From October until the rains come in late November or early December, the weather can be extremely hot - both day and night and is best avoided.
- ➡ January to March:
-
Like in the private game reserves and concessions of the Okavango Delta, great deals can be made in green season from January to March, when the usually high lodge rates drop considerably.
