The Greater Moremi region includes the Moremi Game Reserve and the bordering Khwai Concession, creating one of Botswana’s most varied and wildlife-rich landscapes. The terrain ranges from mopane woodland and acacia stands to open floodplains, seasonal and permanent channels, and papyrus wetlands, shaped by the Okavango Delta’s annual floods.
This diversity supports consistently strong wildlife numbers. Elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and wild dog move freely between woodland and wetland zones, while hippos and crocodiles occupy the deeper channels of the Delta and Khwai River. Plains game such as zebra, giraffe, and several antelope species use the mixed terrain year-round, and the varied vegetation and waterways support both resident and migratory birdlife.
Positioned along the eastern edge of the Okavango Delta, the region acts as a transition between dryland and wetland ecosystems. Shifting water levels create changing patterns of wildlife movement, offering a broad range of viewing opportunities across the seasons.
