4.6/5  –  107 Moremi Safari Reviews

The Okavango Delta is one of the best places in Africa to see wildlife. But few people realise that the only officially protected area of the Delta is Moremi Game Reserve. Moremi has everything that is good about the Delta, including stunning landscapes, an unmistakable feeling of wilderness and so many different safari animals. Parts of Moremi are some of the most accessible areas of the Delta, but, even so, it’s rarely crowded. It’s not unusual to find yourself alone at a lion kill, watching a cheetah on the hunt, or surrounded by elephants with no one else around. At such moments, you’ll wish that your holiday would never end.

6 Questions About Moremi Safaris

Answered by Anthony Ham

Which animals can I see in Moremi Game Reserve?

“Visiting Moremi Game Reserve gives you an excellent chance of seeing some of the most sought-after animals in southern Africa. When you’re talking about wild animals, it’s always unpredictable and nothing is ever guaranteed. But elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hippo and crocodile are very often seen on safari in Moremi, and your chances are especially good if you’re in the reserve for more than just a day or 2. Other rarer species you might see include red lechwe, sitatunga, sable and roan antelope, as well as spotted-necked and African clawless otters. Almost as often, predators are a highlight of any visit to Moremi. Big cats, especially lion and leopard, are always a possibility, and you could also see cheetah, African wild dog and spotted hyena. Your best moments on safari might be those encounters where predator and prey come together. Get your camera ready.”

What is the best time of year for a Moremi safari?

“For seeing wildlife, July to October is the best time for visiting Moremi Game Reserve. These are some of the Dry season months and your chances of seeing animals get better the longer the Dry season progresses. With high water levels, these are also the best months for going on a mokoro (dugout canoe) trip: there should be no end of choice for exploring the channels of Moremi at this time. The only problem with visiting between July and October is that these are also the high season months, when safari trails are at their busiest and prices are high. May and, even better, June (both still Dry season months) can be a good compromise. If you’re a birder, consider visiting between November and April, when large numbers of migratory species (birds that undertake a seasonal migration every year) from Europe and North Africa spend time in the area. Remember, however, that conditions can be difficult (and many lodges and tented camps close) between January and March, making April a potentially good choice.”

How many days are recommended for a safari at Moremi Game Reserve?

“The more time you can dedicate to your Moremi safari the better. You could visit in a couple of days, but this would include travel to and from the reserve, and allow for only 1 overnight stay. I consider a 3-day safari to be a minimum amount of time for tours here. With 3 days in total, you can enjoy 2 nights and 1 full day in the reserve. This means at least four game drives in the early morning or late afternoon (which are the best times to see animals, because this is when they are most active), or four mokoro trips, or, more likely, a combination of the two. Obviously, with each extra day you add, the more you increase your chances of seeing the animals that you came so far to view. Seeing wildlife is unpredictable, and with more days here you’ll really get to know the area and what it has to offer.”

What sort of accommodations can I expect on a Moremi safari?

“Like everywhere in the Okavango Delta, accommodations in Moremi Game Reserve very often consist of exclusive, luxury lodges or, more often, tented camps. These camps vary in size and quality, but many that are available through high-end tours and packages have lounge and dining areas, and swimming pools. Guest rooms are often large with en suite and/or outdoor bathrooms, beautiful safari furnishings such as wooden chests and writing desks, and perhaps even a sofa. The rooms’ walls are made of canvas, so you can lie awake and listen for lions at night. Lodge rooms are similar, but instead of having canvas walls they are housed in sturdier, quieter structures (so you’re less likely to hear the wildlife). If you’re on a budget, you’ll probably stay in campgrounds with a shared shower and toilet block, fire pits (for campfires and cooking) and shaded campsites. Some may have simple tents with ground mattresses, although your operator will usually bring all of the necessary equipment.”

Which areas, such as Khwai Concession, Xakanaxa or Third Bridge, offer the best wildlife sightings?

“All three of these areas have fantastic wildlife possibilities and it is impossible to say which is better. All have the full portfolio of Moremi’s wonderful wildlife. As a community concession adjacent to Moremi, Khwai Concession tends to be a little quieter (in terms of other vehicles, not wildlife) than the others. Xakanaxa has its own lagoon, which is famous for birdlife. And Third Bridge is where you hope to see lions crossing that bridge. But on a good day, all three places can offer big cats, elephants, buffalo and so much more. Rather than choose one of these places, why not visit all three?”

How much does a Moremi safari cost?

“Tours and packages for Moremi safaris usually start at around US$100 to US$150 per person per day. This will usually involve a budget camping safari and, at the lower end of the price spectrum, you may need to help out around camp with cleaning up, cooking, and putting up and taking down tents. At the other end of the price scale, a luxury Moremi safari could start at around US$450 per person per day, but could easily cost three times that if you’re traveling in high season on a private safari (where you get a guide, driver and vehicle all for yourself, but you’ll also have to pay for it all); group and self-drive safaris are generally cheaper. Always make sure you understand what is included in the quoted price for any safari. Unless you’re on a self-drive safari, quoted daily costs should include transfers, reserve entry fees (US$11/5.50 per adult/child per day), driver, guide, vehicle, two game drives or mokoro trips a day, and all meals and accommodation (including camping equipment if needed).”
