Grasslands, small rivers and wildlife around you. In Moremi you drive yourself from North Gate to places like Third Bridge and Xakanaxa. Sometimes you stay behind the wheel. Sometimes you step into a boat.

Discover everything about this location.

Where water and grassland set the rhythm.

Large parts of the eastern Okavango Delta lie within Moremi Game Reserve. Grasslands and small rivers together shape the landscape in which many wild animals live.

On a game drive you may come across elephants, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo and lions. One route runs along open grassland, another brings you closer to the water.

Moremi is not only seen from the 4x4. You can also head out on the water on a boat safari or a mokoro safari. A different pace, the same reserve.

From North Gate to Third Bridge.

Moremi consists of different areas, each with its own place on the route. North Gate lies near Khwai and the Khwai River. South Gate is another important point in the reserve. Third Bridge and Xakanaxa lie on the western side.

From Khwai Campsite near North Gate you can reach places such as Dead Tree Island and the Dombo Hippo Pools. Paradise Island and Third Bridge are also among the places a route through Moremi can include.

That is why a visit is not limited to a single game drive. You can travel through the reserve for several days and see a different part of Moremi each time.

This is what you want to stop for along the way.
