Moremi Game Reserve is situated in the central and eastern areas of the Okavango. It includes the Moremi Tongue and Chief's Island, boasting one of the continent's wealthiest and most diverse ecosystems.
This makes for spectacular game viewing and bird watching, including all significant, naturally occurring herbivore and carnivore species in the region and over 400 species of birds, many migratory and some endangered. Both Black and White Rhino have recently been re-introduced, making the reserve a 'Big Five' destination.
Moremi is best known for its thriving population of African Wild Dogs. These are beautiful animals with their coats a patchwork of different colours. They are also called Painted Hunting Dogs, but most people just say Wild Dogs. The Wild Dogs of Moremi have been the subjects of study since 1989 and their numbers are thriving as they dwindle in other parts of Africa.
The Moremi Game Reserve is found inside the Okavango region and a natural addition to any mobile safari trip and is often called one of the most beautiful game reserves in Africa.
