Moremi Game Reserve is one of Africa's finest wetland-and-savanna safari destinations, combining channels, floodplains, mopane, and dry islands into a richer and more varied wildlife experience than many single-habitat parks. It is strongest for travelers who want classic Okavango wildlife with excellent predator potential and a more specific reserve identity than the broader delta.
