Moremi

The Okavango's protected heart — where the delta's water meets dry land, and Botswana's game viewing is at its richest.

The destination

Moremi is where the Okavango concentrates. Set aside in 1963 by the BaTawana people — the first game reserve in Africa created by an African community on its own land — it protects the delta's core: lagoons, islands, and the river country where water and wildlife meet.

What it's known for

The African wild dog.

For most of the year a Moremi pack belongs to no one place — some seven hundred square kilometres, worked end to end. Then winter comes, the pups are born, and for three months the pack's whole life draws in to one den in the mopane woodland. That is the season when sightings become regular.

Not sure it's the one?

Moremi, the delta, or Chobe?

Moremi or the wider delta? Chobe as well, or instead? The names overlap more than the map suggests — start with how the reserve sits inside the Okavango, and the rest of Botswana falls into order.

The water is already on its way — it left Angola months ago. Being here when it arrives is the art.
