PARK INFORMATION:
Moremi Game Reserve is one of the leading wildlife areas and is mostly described as one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa. Boasting dense concentrations of game at any time of the year, the Moremi Game Reserve supports a wide range of habitats from riparian woodlands, floodplains, reed beds, permanent wetland through mopane and acacia forests to dry savannahs and secluded lagoons. It is the great diversity of plant and animal life that makes Moremi so well known. The Moremi reserve contains within its boundaries approximately twenty percent of the Okavango Delta. Visitors must take special precautions against malaria and bilharzia.
The Moremi reserve to be seen varies between large herds of buffalo, elephants (particularly during the dry season), giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, hyena, jackal and the full range of antelope, large and small, including the red lechwe. Birdlife is prolific and varied, ranging from water birds to shy forest dwellers. There are many species of ducks end geese, as well as an amazing variety of heron. As the mopane bush gives way to floodplains and riverine forests, other animals become abundantly visible and the whole spectrum of Africa's Wildlife can be seen.
