Parks

National Parks:
Moremi Game Reserve
The Moremi Game Reserve is situated in the eastern part of the Okavango Delta, on the south-western border of the Chobe National Park, and covers almost one-third of the Delta. With such a wide variety of vegetation comes a diverse spectrum of wildlife. Vast herds of impala and tsessebe are found in the area, while in the dry season, large herds of buffalo, wildebeest, elephant, and zebra flock into the reserve from the Kalahari in search of food and water. The rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope live on the banks of the waterways. Lions, cheetahs, and packs of wild dog's hunt in the open grassland. The reserve is home to over 400 bird species, including the African Fish Eagle, the crested crane, and the sacred ibis. Its wealth of bird and animal life makes Moremi a prime game-viewing area.

Okavango Delta
The Okavango is a unique ecosystem of papyrus-lined waterways, knee-deep floodplains, water lily lagoons, shady forest glades and fertile savannah grasslands. All this lushness lies in the middle of the largest continuous stretch of sand in the world – the Kalahari Desert Basin. Seen from space as an emerald swirl surrounded by a parched landscape, the Okavango Delta is an incredible source of life in a country that is 80% arid. The Okavango region contains the Moremi Game Reserve surrounded by some strictly controlled, privately managed wildlife concessions. The game viewing in all of these areas is no less than outstanding and activities can either be undertaken on foot, in a game-viewing vehicle or a mokoro (dug-out canoe) or motorized boat. Such varied opportunities in a beautiful and diverse range of habitats make the Okavango the best all-encompassing safari destination in the world. The Okavango Delta is formed by the inflow of the Okavango River, (or the Kavango River as it is known in Namibia), into the arid sands of the Kalahari Desert.
