As the oldest protected reserve in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve is a testament to conservation and the beauty of Botswana. This reserve was created through the efforts of the local communities and in tribute, it was named after the BaTawana tribal leader, Chief Moremi III, and his wife. The reserve stretches across the central and eastern sections of the Delta. Famous locations include Chiefs Island and the Moremi Tongue, which are areas that support an incredible range of biodiversity with year-round water availability. Fantastic wildlife include the Big 5, huge packs of wild dog, and plenty of birds and reptiles.

FAQs
The dry season in Botswana runs from about April to October, which is paradoxically when the Okavango Delta floods. Along with offering brilliant game viewing, this is definitely the best time to visit. The wet months, which are between November and March, are also great times for birders and seeing baby animals. However, many lodges do close during this time, so make sure to check with us before you book.
Because of the easy way we communicated with our Viatu expert, it felt like planning our holidays with a friend. It made it really flexible and perfectly suitable for our needs. The accommodations that he suggested were just wonderful and a perfect mix of everything we needed.
