Moremi Game Reserve - part four of our mobile safari in Botswana

We spent the last three days of our Mobile Safari in the Okavango Delta at the Moremi Game Reserve. This is probably the most famous part of the Okavango Delta - and rightly so!

Botswana's strongest attraction is probably the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve in it. This one-and-a-half-thousand-kilometre-long river, which comes from Angola, pours into the Kalahari with all the water it carries in a huge delta. The 5 to 12 billion cubic metres of liquid water it carries annually submerge a land area of 6,000 km² permanently and about 15 km² during flood times (June to August).

The Moremi Game Reserve is a game reserve of about 4,871 km2 and is situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta. As the oldest nature reserve in Botswana, it accounts for about one third of the total area of the Okavango Delta.

Big cats country

Moremi Game Reserve is all about the big animals. Perfectly adapted to life on the water, antelope graze next to watchful buffalo on riverine meadows framed by mighty trees reaching into the sky, from whose branches leopard tails and paws dangle with relish. Tree skeletons cast their shadows on the backs of elephants roaming the savannahs, and all this just a stone's throw away from papyrus-lined canals stretching into the delta.
