Situated on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta in north-western Botswana, Moremi Game Reserve is one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife reserves, protecting an extraordinary mosaic of floodplains, lagoons, forests and open grasslands. As the first reserve in Africa established by a local community, it is recognised for both its conservation significance and its exceptional biodiversity. Visitors can enjoy game drives and seasonal mokoro or motorboat excursions, with opportunities to spot elephants, lions, leopards, African wild dogs and abundant birdlife in remarkably varied habitats. The ever-changing landscapes, where winding waterways meet acacia woodlands and sweeping plains, create a memorable safari experience that combines outstanding wildlife viewing with the untamed beauty of the Okavango Delta.
The Khwai area of the Okavango lies along the northern boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve. Khwai Community Area has unfenced boundaries allowing wildlife to move freely between the woodlands in the wet season when water is plentiful and back to permanent rivers and lagoons in the dry season. The Khwai area offers the same wildlife experience as the Moremi Game Reserve with the added advantage of being a private concession, which means the ability to do walking safaris and night drives. Don't miss the opportunity to soak up beautiful views of the scenic landscape and spot an array of wildlife.
Savuti, also known as Savute, lies in the heart of Botswana’s renowned Chobe National Park and is one of the country’s most fascinating wildlife destinations. This dynamic wilderness features vast open savannahs, ancient rocky outcrops, and the remnants of a historic marsh fed by the enigmatic Savuti Channel. Famous for its unpredictable wet and dry cycles, the landscape is constantly changing, creating unique habitats for a remarkable variety of wildlife. Wild dogs hunt along the dry riverbed where crocodiles once swam, highlighting the area’s ever-shifting nature. Visitors can encounter large herds of elephants, Cape buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest, as well as predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, black-backed jackals, and bat-eared foxes. Savuti is also home to abundant birdlife, antelope species, tsessebe, kudu, and many other iconic African animals.
Fringing the world-renowned Chobe National Park, the Kasane Forest Reserve is located in the Lesoma Valley of the Central district in Botswana, approximately 800 kilometres north from Gaborone. A large portion of the terrain around the reserve is flat with plenty of wildlife, such as elephants, giraffes and even warthogs, roaming around undisturbed. Visitors can look forward to scenic boat cruises along the beautiful Chobe River, spot nocturnal animals in the forest on a thrilling night safari and enjoy bush camping under the African night sky.
