Moremi Game Reserve

Although just fewer than 5,000 square kilometers (1,900 square miles) in extent, Moremi Game Reserve is a surprisingly diverse game 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.

The Moremi Game Reserve is characterised by its unique landscape, which includes a mixture of savanna grasslands, forests, and wetlands. The reserve is named after Chief Moremi of the BaTawana people, who is said to have set aside the land for wildlife protection in the early 1960s.

Visitors to Moremi Game Reserve can experience the wilderness by going on guided walks, mokoro (dugout canoe) trips, or game drives. The reserve is also a popular destination for bird watching, with over 500 species of birds recorded in the area.

Moremi Game Reserve is easily accessible from nearby towns and cities, including Maun and Gaborone, and visitors can stay in lodges or campsites within the reserve or in nearby villages. The reserve is managed by the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks, and a portion of the entrance fees collected from visitors is used for conservation and community development projects.
