Trip Overview
Moremi Game Reserve occupies the
heart of the Okavango Delta and is widely regarded as one of the finest
wildlife sanctuaries on the African continent. Covering nearly 5,000 square
kilometres of pristine wilderness — from dense riverine forests and seasonal
floodplains to open savanna and papyrus-fringed waterways — Moremi is a place
of breathtaking biodiversity.
This 5-day safari places you
right at the centre of this extraordinary ecosystem, camping in two iconic
areas: the legendary Khwai and the scenic Xaxanaxa regions. But this is no
ordinary camping — this is fully-serviced glamping in spacious Sahara-style
tents with private en-suite facilities, steel beds with full bedding, and a
dedicated safari chef preparing hearty three-course meals. Every camp duty is
handled by professional staff, leaving you free to focus entirely on the
wildlife experience.
Daily morning and afternoon game
drives traverse Moremi's diverse habitats in search of elephant, lion, leopard,
buffalo, giraffe, and wild dog. The crowning jewel is a traditional mokoro
excursion — gliding silently through the Delta's papyrus channels in a dugout
canoe, encountering aquatic wildlife and birdlife from a unique water-level
perspective. This is Botswana at its most magical.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Your safari begins in Maun, where you are met in the morning and transferred to the spectacular Moremi Game Reserve. For the next four days, you will enjoy a fully-serviced glamping safari experience exploring one of Botswana's most wildlife-rich regions. Camp is set up by the professional safari team, with accommodation in spacious Sahara-style tents featuring steel beds, full bedding, and private en-suite bathroom facilities at the rear of each tent. A dedicated safari chef prepares all meals, ensuring you dine well after each day's adventures. Daily morning and afternoon game drives in open safari vehicles traverse Moremi's extraordinary landscape — dense riverine forest, open floodplains, seasonal lagoons, and grassland savannas — in search of the reserve's famous wildlife. A magical highlight is the traditional mokoro excursion through the waterways of the Okavango Delta, drifting silently through narrow papyrus channels with the poler guiding you effortlessly through this remarkable aquatic world. Between activities, relax at camp, soak up the breathtaking Delta sunsets, and listen to the sounds of the African bush at night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a 'non-participating' safari?
Unlike participation camping safaris where guests assist with camp duties, this is a fully-serviced experience. Professional camp staff erect tents, prepare meals, and manage all camp activities, so you can focus entirely on relaxing and enjoying the wildlife experience.
Is the tented accommodation comfortable?
Yes. The Sahara-style tents are spacious and equipped with comfortable steel beds, quality bedding, and private en-suite bathroom facilities at the rear of each tent. While this is a camp environment, it is designed to offer genuine comfort in the wilderness.
What is a mokoro and is it safe?
A mokoro is a traditional dugout canoe, expertly poled through the Delta's shallow waterways by an experienced local guide. It is a serene and remarkably safe activity — the peaceful pace and low profile of the canoe allow for incredibly close wildlife and birdlife encounters that are impossible in a motor vehicle.
Is this safari suitable for solo travellers?
This package is priced for 2+ people sharing tents. Solo travellers should enquire about current solo supplementation. It is an excellent choice for couples, small groups, and families.
What animals are commonly seen in Moremi?
Moremi regularly delivers sightings of elephant, hippo, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, and lion. It is also one of Africa's most important habitats for the endangered African wild dog, with frequent pack sightings. Leopard, hyena, and sitatunga are also encountered.
Are children welcome on this safari?
Yes, though game drives in open vehicles are recommended for children aged 6 and above. Please contact us to discuss specific requirements for families travelling with young children.
