Itinerary
Moremi is situated in the central and eastern areas of the Okavango Delta and covers about a third of the total land area of the Okavango Delta. Moremi is a reserve and is unfenced, allowing free movement of animals within the Delta according to their seasonal migrations. Moremi boasts of diverse ecosystems ranging from floodplains, lagoons, pools, pans, grasslands and riparian forests, riverine to mophane woodland. Thus, with such a wide variety of vegetation comes a diverse spectrum of wildlife.
Today, wake up to enjoy your early breakfast and shortly thereafter you take a slow game drive through Moremi. On this safari drive, you should look out for the large herds of African elephants, African wild dogs, lions and leopards.
