Day 4

Moremi Game Reserve

The group will depart with hired air-conditioned 4x4 safari vehicles via Shorobe and the Buffalo Fence for the Moremi Game Reserve – The Jewel of Africa – in the heart of the Okavango Delta. The Moremi forms an integral part of the okavango delta, comprising permanently swamped areas and dry land. It is probably the prime tourist destination in Botswana.

Moremi is a prime wildlife area where elephant, hippo, lion, buffalo, giraffe and most other game can be seen in abundance. We will stay in our comfortable mobile camp at Xakanaxa for two nights and daily activities will include 4x4 game drives, boat cruises on the waterways of the Okavango Delta, Bird Watching, brunches in the bush, sundowners and unforgettable nights around the campfire. Three meals a day will be prepared by our exceptional bush chef in his mobile kitchen with fresh salads, potjiekos, braais and many other surprises appearing on the menu. Our logistics crew will pitch and take down the camps at the campsites. Though our bush-camps may be rustic, you will at all times be safe and the crew will spare no effort to make you comfortable, provide you with good wholesome food and, most importantly, see that you have a great time!
