Moremi Game Reserve

The Moremi Game Reserve is situated to the northeast of Maun and covers some 20 percent of the Okavango Delta. The reserve lies within a wildlife management area that is strictly controlled and the animals in the reserve are therefore allowed free seasonal movement. Moremi Game Reserve enjoys a wide diversity of habitats and is well known for the height of the trees in the mopane tongue, which covers the central area. Wildlife in the Moremi Game Reserve includes elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, hyena, jackal as well as a wide range of antelope including the endemic Red lechwe.

The bird population includes many water birds and, during the wet season, bird watchers can enjoy exceptional bird watching opportunities. Most of the dry land area of the Moremi Game Reserve is covered in Mopane tree (Colophospermum mopane) canopies. Riverine woodland, floodplain grasses, sandveld and some flower species are also found.
