MOREMI
WILDLIFE RESERVE
Moremi Wildlife Reserve contains within its boundaries approximately
twenty percent of the Okavango Delta. Moremi rates as one of the
leading wildlife areas of the world. The mosaic of grasslands,
floodplains, palm-tree islets, forests, lily lagoons and winding water
channels combine to form a perfectly constructed puzzle, in which
animals wander as they please. Moremi Game Reserve has no perimeter
fences or man made boundaries which interfere with the free movement
of the wildlife in the area. This is a true wilderness area and is
kept pristine. There is no other true wildlife sanctuary as beautiful
diverse and pristine as Moremi.
