Discover everything about this location.

Botswana looks different here.

Goo-Moremi Gorge sits at the foot of the Tswapong Hills, around 67 kilometres east of Palapye.

The protected area covers 1,836 hectares. Perennial streams have cut deep gorges into the hills, with waterfalls and pools surrounded by dense vegetation.

The site is a national heritage area and is managed as a community-based nature and cultural tourism project by the Moremi-Manonnye Conservation Trust in partnership with Botswana Tourism Organisation.
