Moremi Game Reserve

Tailor-made Moremi Game Reserve Holidays

Reed studded lagoons, sprawling floodplains and sunbaked savannah, the Moremi Game Reserve brims with startling wildlife encounters. Aside from animals as far as the eye can see, the diverse landscape offers spellbinding scenery. Chief’s Island is one such place, a fertile sandveld tongue where it’s not uncommon to see a white rhino grazing in the grass or a pack of wild dog hunting in the flat terrain.

Embark on a 4×4 exploration to see the iconic Big 5, or take a walk amongst the jackalberry trees for more intimate viewings of the reserve’s colourful birdlife. Paddle down the Delta’s watery wonderland in a mokoro canoe to get even closer to the unsuspecting wildlife. Perhaps you’ll spot herds of the swamp-dwelling sitatunga, Africa’s only amphibious antelope, or maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of the rare red-coated lechwe splashing lightly through the knee-deep water.

Get to know the Moremi’s complex ecosystems with insight from our local guides, some of most talented people on the planet at spotting wildlife from a pride of lion hunting its prey to an impala darting over the grassland.

Plan your holiday withAlfred&

Your journey will start with one of our UK team – someone like Louise, who's travelled extensively in Botswana. They’ll shape your ideas into the trip of a lifetime. But they won't do it alone. They'll draw on the expertise of our contacts on the ground, connecting you to the people who'll make your holiday one you'll always remember - the rangers who'll ensure you'll spot the best wildlife in Chobe, the village chiefs who'll give you an insight into local life and the helicopter pilots who can land you on an island in the Delta never visited by humans before.

Louise Dean

Africa Expert for Alfred&

When it comes to Africa, Louise is well versed. She’s flown into an empty Namibian beach to eat lunch on the aircraft wing, experienced Tanzania’s Great Wildebeest migration and listened to stories of the Anglo-Zulu War on the battlefields where it happened over a centennial ago. While she’s witnessed vast, incredible game including the last two northern white rhinos, it’s the people who she finds most inspiring; the native Maasai women whose lives are deeply rooted within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy and the local guides - resilient, highly knowledgeable, and ever smiling.
