Moremi Game Reserve is famous as the most accessible spot from which to experience the Okavango Delta. It is also known for its local lions, which apparently, are regular visitors around the campsites. Night driving here is possible and - as long as you are not too intrusive with your high-powered spotlights - you can get some unusual sightings that are rarely seen in other places. In hundreds of safaris in more than 80 African reserves Moremi remains the only place where I have ever seen serval and genet. The most famous spot in Moremi is probably Chief's Island but since I was driving in from Selinda (amazing cat country in itself - and the place where I watched a leopard prowl around my car for more than 40 minutes!) I only made it to Moremi Camp. Hope to get back sometime soon!
