The Okavango Delta is a vast river delta in Botswana, featuring the Moremi Game Reserve which boasts abundant wildlife such as hippos, lions, and elephants. Maun serves as the gateway to this unique wetland ecosystem. The delta is described as large and swampy, with a distinctive inland character. It offers visitors an opportunity for ecotourism activities such as mokoro safaris - a popular way of exploring the area's waterways.

The camping trip in Okavango Delta turned out to be more interesting than expected. The boat ride out to the camp site was the highlight of the trip as the local guides skillfully maneuvered the dugout canoes across the wetland. And then there was the bush walking to see the different animals in the delta. Totally enjoyed the local songs and dances performed by the local guides during the campfire.

To see the actual and honest representation of flora and fauna of a great continent. Helps me to know what’s going on there. And where help is needed and where I can send money to help the helpless.

Amazing experience! Simply out of this world! Beautiful faune, quiet and peaceful river cruising with lots of crocodiles, birds, and if you are lucky, hippos, elephants, impalas and pumbas...A once in a lifetime experience particularly if you can do bush camping on the river bank. Incredible experience!

We asked for picnic under the stars and we got just that...it was beautiful 😍 the game drives, the food ...the infinity pool ..we swam while watching elephants and other animals from a distance. Definitely a place to check out...Worth evert penny!

One of the miracles of nature - a bucket list destination.
The Kgalagadi desert turns into a lush green wetland here in the largest inland delta in the world.
It's the story of four geological faults - two of them, the panhandle faults, channel the Okavango river where it builds up against the Gomare fault following the seasonal rains in the Angolan highlights. For six months of the year the river breaks the fault and islands, floodplains, logoons and channels build up over some 100km because of a fourth fault line, the Kunyere fault.
The Okavango Delta is one of the best preserved wild life areas in the world home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, the African wild dog, giraffe and countless species of antelope, small predators, birds reptiles and insects - not forgetting crocodile and hippopotamus. Enjoy viewing game right on the water from a Mocoro, traditionally a canoe made from a single tree trunk and now a more eco-friendly version made from fibreglass poled over the shallow flood plains.
Stay over at one of the lodges in the area I recommend Jumbo Junction, a comfortable smaller one, run by couple Sue and Greg, at the north-western edge of the Delta close to Gunotsonga.

What an experience with Ride Botswana and David Foot Safaris thanks to Louis at Cape Winelands Riding.
The Moremi Game Reserve is a vast wildlife sanctuary spanning 1,900 square miles located on a river delta in Botswana. It is home to an impressive array of animals including cheetahs, rhinos, elephants and lions. The southern section of the reserve offers the best opportunities to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures. The park is unfenced and offers prime nature viewing opportunities for those willing to brave its challenging road conditions with thick sand and water making access limited.
Wonderful staff. Great accomodations. Knowledgeable guides. Amazing sights.

When we visited Moremi it was early in the morning for a self game drive. We saw a few animals: elephant, hyena, impala, zebra, hippos and some smaller species too.

We made selfdrive day trip from Maun. There is alot of animals allready on transit road on a way to southgate. We had Suzuki Jimny and managed mediocre. Roads are pretty hard especially for rookies. One time we got stuck on mudhole but at the same minute awesome dutch/german couple saved us from the hole with their bigger vechile! Thank you so much!🤩 We saw lost of elephants, hippos, crocodile, antilopes, girraffes, cape buffalos etc. Be aware or mud holes and if you are not sure look always route around them. Also it is best to stay in the reserve since we spent half day on transit roads. We will come back later with better car, time and prepare :)

Poorly informed staff. No working toilets or running water at gates. Very few animals seen. Roads mostly flooded and staff had no problem directing people into flooded roads that we warned them about. Very difficult to navigate with limited roads and signs. Staff at gates couldt communicate with other camps since the power was down and even the solar didnt charge. We did not reach our camp within two days and had to overnight next to the roads because the roads were so poor and flooded. No one came looking for us. Real threat if poachers start roaming the park since no one monitors you.

All my trips to Moremi Game reserve were taken in the wet season...lots of mud...and of course lots of beautiful sights...the other time I enjoyed a pair of lions being scattered by a young elephant bull....amazing...Moremi is beautiful...

One of Africa's finest reserves. Unfenced, untamed, nature at its best.
Limited access due to the challenging road conditions, thick sand and water, makes for a rewarding experience.
Botswana has implemented a low volume high price model on Tourism, but in today's world I guess that's the price you need to pay in order to break away from the crowds and have an experience of a lifetime.

The best reserve I've ever seen. There are animals literally everywhere, around every corner there's always something special that will leave you in awe. The roads are not well-maintained, they're sandy, but they definitely add to the adventure. Be cautious of the numerous elephants you'll encounter; they can be dangerous during your safaris.

Wildest safari we've been so far. Expect nothing but wild life (no wi fi, facilities, shops, even directions, no roads), with a difficult access (only by 4x4 and difficult road to access (2h from Maun)) but also true life and pureness.
Exciting and exceptional place 100% recommended.
We did a selfdrive safari so maybe that's why we couldn't spot lions nor leopards but we could enjoy plenty of other animals.
Be aware that Department of Wildlife and Nature Parks in Botswana are increasing their fees so it is very expensive, we paid them at their office in Maun but we saw people paying them there at the gate.
Furthermore, we were not given a map (it costed 300 Pulas!!!!, or more, depending on who is at the reception gate) and there aren't indications in the park (or they were damaged) so it is really easy to get lost.
5 stars because the place is really worth it but it need some maintenance taking into account the price that's paid.

One of the best true African Wilderness areas! Great for safari. We love exploring Moremi. Wildlife sightings are usually quality sightings with limited vehicles. We would recommend staying at least 3 nights exploring the Xakanaxa, 3rd Bridge as well as Xini Lagoon areas!!

I really enjoyed every single moment at the camp. The staff was very friendly and ever smiling. Food was awesome. I loved the way the presented the evening menu, mostly the wines. Big up. On the game drive, I was guided by Wise. The man has vast experience and knowledge about the wildlife. The man really made me love adventure more. The rooms wow. I enjoyed the morning birds songs. I have travelled on most on the camps but Camp Moremi I salute it. I can't to go back there again, and this time around for many more days.

Beautiful park, but don’t trust the Rangers when the park is flooded. They won’t be able to provide proper support when you get stuck in the water (they damaged the car with a total cost of 2000+ eur). Extremely unprofessional staff
Lake Ngami in Botswana is an enigmatic body of water that has mystified visitors for decades. The lake, which was described by David Livingstone in 1849 as a shimmering expanse teeming with bird and animal life, has a long history of appearing and disappearing throughout the 20th century. Today, it is considered a natural wonder and serves as a birdlife conservation area.
Beauty of nature is found here

A Creatives Hub, an Art Gallery & Residency, and a Media Production House all combined in one! The Space Botswana is definitely a place to check out when in Maun especially if you fancy the arts like yours truly. You will be able to View and buy Artworks by the very best of Botswana's Artists with a true African taste and flavour. Cool drinks and coffee are also on offer/sale and, and while sipping your favourite beverage, you will be sure to engage on a worthwhile conversation about the place and its conception (which is a rather interesting story I must say!), with the MD and Founder Atang L.S. Arnold or her husband, Stuart Arnold.

Jao was a bit of a disappointment. We visited during November 2022 and were excited to experience the camp due to the unique architecture and reviews we had seen. The camp was definitely unique and interesting in terms of architecture and layout, but the rooms were not well kept and the safari vehicle was in very bad shape. Staff were friendly but we often had to make requests 3-4 times before achieving the desired result (e.g. requesting certain refreshments for the minifridge, obtaining bug spray and sunscreen, asking for the plunge pool to be skimmed). The food was good overall. We saw a variety of wildlife on game drives but, in contrast to other safari camps we've stayed at, our guide often told us we could not go off road which mean that we were viewing wildlife from a distance. For us, the cost of the camp was not in line with the overall quality of the experience. Nothing was "bad" but it wasn't the high end experience we have had at similarly priced safari camps in Botswana and South Africa.

Jao was amazing. Visited there in 2016 and it was 5 star all the way. Food, wine, service were all amazing. Our guide TJ was awesome. David set us up a dinner out in the delta and it was spectacular. Listening to lions roar a few hundred yards away while having a candle lite dinner was something my kids will never forget. Simply amazing.

5 stars are not enough. Depending on the season part wetlands navigable by boat and driving game land a stunning area to see African nature. Virtually guaranteed 3 of the big 5 with bonus of water loving creatures. Staff and service is exceptional. This camp is about to undergo a rebuild and having been lucky enough to have a sneak preview is going to be more than amazing.

Well its beautiful place right in the middle of the delta and it offers a very good wildlife sightings ,for all ages and communication is not problem if what chat with others back home
The caves are so natural and I love that they haven't tempered with nature. It was a great experience with well equiped guides. The only worrying thing is the road especially from Xaixai to the caves, the trees have almost closed it which is not good for the physical condition of the car. And also they should enforce protection of the place because I noticed that some people can just go on their own without guides or any relevant allowance.
