Moremi Game Reserve

Hippos and baboons, honey badgers and elephants...also amazing.

Man, it is wild!

Moremi was where we saw the most hard-to-spot animals. And we had beautiful sunsets.

Great facilities, good wildlife, a bit expensive for what you get.

Well developed but still authentic bush.

Like Chobe, Moremi Game Reserve has some of the best wildlife viewing in Southern Africa.

Criss-crossed with rivers, Moremi offers tremendous bird life and some huge herds of elephant.

Very good accomodation,excelent service,good game viewing. However little of that "Okavango" feeling

Very good landing strip and transport to the camp. The weather in April 2011 was warm to hot (what one would expect), some rain around but not over us. Charming cottages not fenced off from the reserve - one can even "get in touch" with the night-wandering hippos (not advisable though). Very good food and service (almost too attentive – but this over-attentiveness was experienced in all other camps, too). Wildlife viewing good.
However, in my opinion, one cannot experience the serenity of Okavango from a motor boat thundering through the channels of the Okavango Delta or from a 4-wheel drive, which are the only activities this camp offers. This camp does not offer excursions by a makoro (a dugout is for my part the main attraction of Okavango and I consider it a must). One can book a game drive in any game reserve in southern Africa – however the tranquillity of gliding silently low over the water surface through the reed, walks on the islands feeling the bush and peacefulness of this place is a must, which this destination unfortunatelly does not offer to its visitors.

Moremi had it all

We were a group with Naga Safaris and went for a few days to Moremi before hitting up some other places in Northern Botswana. With exception to baby animals, Moremi had it all (all the moms with babies were at Chobe where there was lots of water). We saw all animals we were to continue to see, while at Moremi. Before we even got to our campsite (which was just a clearing) we saw elephants right on the side of the road, springbok and a pride of lions within an arms reach. Our site had passing animals in the night and lots of great insects (entomology student).

Our group (chemist, physicist..) was pretty specific in our interests and we weren't let down at all. None of us were interested in birds upon arrival, but due to our guide's knowledge pointing out birds to us, we left with a new interest in them. Tons of up close encounters with birds on all drives.

The waterways have an incredible amount of wildlife ! The night sounds from all the wildlife was spectacular !
