The rich wildlife of the Moremi Game Reserve

Experience one last morning activity at Leroo La Tau before you are taken back to the airstrip for your onward flight to the Moremi Game Reserve. During the flight, you will get your first glimpse of the vastness of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Okavango Delta. The Moremi Game Reserve is located in the eastern part of the delta, on the south-western border with Chobe National Park and impresses with its diverse vegetation, which attracts a large number of wild animals. Large herds of buffalo, elephant, wildebeest and zebra roam the area in search of food and water. The rare lechwe antelopes live in the papyrus forests, while lions, cheetahs and wild dogs hunt in the open grasslands. The Moremi Game Reserve offers a year-round wildlife paradise with excellent game viewing opportunities. Spend the next two nights at Camp Xakanaxa and enjoy daily game drives and boat safaris.

The beauty of Chobe National Park

Today you make your way to the last leg of your unforgettable journey through Botswana, to Chobe National Park in the north of the country.
