Described as "the jewel" of the Kalahari, the Okavango Delta is a tranquil and isolated oasis set in Botswana's harsh and arid desert. The delta is widely considered as being one of Africa's best safari destinations because of its special diversity of flora and fauna. The delta is one of the largest and most important inland wetlands of the world, covering 10,000 square miles, with 2500 species of plants, 65 fish species, 20 large herbivores and over 450 species of birds.

The Okavango Delta is one of the world’s largest inland water systems. Its headwaters start in Angola’s western highlands, then flow through Namibia (called the Kavango) and finally enter Botswana, where it is then called the Okavango.

The Moremi Game Reserve is situated in the eastern part of the Okavango Delta, bordering Chobe National Park on the park's southwestern edge. The Moremi reserve covers almost one third of the Delta. The Okavango Delta is the largest inland river delta in the world, and consists of pans, floodplains, lily covered lagoons, grasslands, acacia tree forests, savannahs and dense woodlands.

With such a wide variety of vegetation comes a diverse spectrum of wild life. Huge herds of impala and tsessebe are found in the area. In the dry season, large herds of buffalo, wildebeest, elephant and zebra flock into the reserve from the Kalahari in search of food and water. The rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope live on the papyrus banks of the waterways. Lions, cheetah, and packs of the endangered wild dog hunt in the open grassland. Moremi is home to over 400 species of birds, including the African Fish Eagle, the Crested Crane and the Sacred Ibis. The vast variety of mammal, bird, insect, plant, fish and reptile species have successfully adapted to the swamp conditions. Moremi Game Reserve is a wilderness paradise with great game viewing throughout the year.
