The Moremi Game Reserve is known for its different ecosystems. The landscapes change from deep waterways and floodplains to open savannah and forests which attracts a huge range of wildlife. You may see lions, buffaloes, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras and impalas. If you’re lucky you might spot a cheetah or a leopard. The highlight for many, though, is seeing the endangered wild dog – they’re exceptional hunters and you often see large packs together. The area is also home to the rare lechwe and sitatunga antelopes as well as big herds of elephants.

Game drives will take you to see all this, visiting different spots like Douglas Island, Maya Pan and Dead Tree Island, which is named for its landscape of barren mopane trees, which drowned when the channel changed. At Paradise Pools you may see antelopes drink around the watering holes next to swamps filled with reeds. These islands offer amazing flora and fauna and are popular grazing areas for a variety of animals and birdlife.

As well as game drives, you can join motorboat tours on the lagoons and channels, with chances to spot hippos, crocodiles and lots of colourful birdlife – especially in the spring and summer, when migrant birds are breeding. Fish eagles, crested cranes and the sacred ibis are among the birds that call this area home, and you will get a different perspective when you see it all from the water. Sundowners in the bush as the sun sets is a memory that will stay with you.
