Khwai River camp, Moremi Game Reserve



This region is perhaps one of the most diverse in the whole of Botswana, a fact that saw this region made a conservation area back in 1964. The group is now well and truly in to the routine of an early start before dawn before we take in our first game drive, then a siesta, shower and washing in the hotter parts of the day before heading out in the cooler hours for a second game drive. This timetable maximizes our chances of seeing interesting wildlife, and we've certainly been able to do that with highlights thus far including lions with cubs, wild dogs in camp and hunting impala and eagle-owls. Packing up today and heading to another section of Moremi to continue our tour.

Xakanaxa campsite, Moremi Game Reserve

Two nights camping in one of the best wildlife areas of Botswana, Moremi Game Reserve. This area sits on the edge of the famous Okavango Delta, and the group was lucky enough to take a day cruise around the waterways of the Delta, getting to see first hand the importance of this water resource and how the wildlife differs from the dry surrounds. Moremi is characterised by small areas of dry land rising between vast wetlands with crystal clear water channels on the edges of Mopane and Apple-Leaf woodlands. Highlights over the past few days have included a herd of 60 plus breeding Elephants of all different ages, Zebras and Hippos.

The group has just returned from two nights camping in Nxai Pan National Park. The highlights included some very close sightings of Secretarybirds, Zebra, Gemsbok, Steenbok , Elephants, Giraffe and 100 bird species at a very busy waterhole. Tracks of lions, Leopards and cheetah have been seen, but so far only visual has been of a wildcats, but bigger cats to come hopefully. The group has had their first taste of camping and wildlife drives. Tonight we stay in Maun, and visit a local hall to learn something of the local culture, sample some traditional food and relax prior to our last night in a hotel for some time.
