Moremi Game Reserve is situated in the central and eastern areas of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. It covers about a third of the total land area of the Okavango Delta. At about 3900–square kilometres, Moremi as a reserve is unfenced, allowing free movement of animals within the Delta according to their seasonal migrations.
Moremi boasts of diverse ecosystems ranging from floodplains, waterways, lagoons, pools, pans, grasslands and riparian forests, riverine to mophane woodland. Thus, with such a wide variety of vegetation comes a diverse spectrum of wildlife.
The floodplains of the Okavango Delta, dotted with well–wooded islands and shady termite mounds are ideal lion country as they provide excellent observation points. Lions, Cheetahs and the African wild dogs hunt in the open plains and grasslands of Moremi Game Reserve. It is on these open grasslands and floodplains where huge herds of buffalo, impala, tsessebe, zebras, wildebeest, and other prey species flock in search of food.
On the other hand, the rare Sitatunga and Red Lechwe (although somewhat less acquatic than the sitatunga) prefer the papyrus–fringed waterways of the Delta.
Thus Moremi is a wilderness paradise, with great game viewing throughout the year.
