Moremi Game Reserve was declared a wildlife management area in 1963 by the BaTawana Chief Kgosi Moremi and it went on record as the first protected area to be created by a tribe with the intention to sustainably manage and utilize its flora and fauna. Moremi Game Reserve was initially run by the Fauna Conservation Society of Ngamiland and it was extended to include Chief’s Island in 1979. It was later taken over by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks and became part of the Botswana Government’s efforts to protect flora and fauna in the country.
Moremi is bordered by the Okavango Delta to the east, Khwai to the northeast, and Chobe to the north. Moremi offers one of the best wildlife viewing experiences in Botswana. It is recommended by safari agents and travelers worldwide. There are both safari lodges and privately owned and public camping sites in the reserve. We offer both day trip excursions from Maun and overnight camping trips as well as boat cruises in the beautiful waters of the Okavango. Common wildlife sightings include a wide variety of water birds such as herons, pelicans, egrets, fishing eagles and owls, jacanas and lapwings. Hippos and crocodiles are also are regular sightings reported by both tour guides and self-driven tourists
