Drive Into Camp Moremi

Camp Moremi

Camp Moremi is situated on the beautiful Xakanaxa Lagoon in the heart of the Okavango Delta, within the Moremi Game Reserve. Xakanaxa is renowned as one of the best game viewing areas in Botswana. Peering out beneath giant ebony trees, Camp Moremi brings true meaning to the word safari. Here, where the life-giving waters of the Okavango meet up with the vast Kalahari, ancient Mopane forests, open grassland, seasonal floodplains and Riverine habitats have formed, creating one of the most magnificent and welcoming animal sanctuaries in all of Africa. Camp Moremi is owned and operated by Desert and Delta Safaris.
