Covering a sizeable portion of the Okavango Delta the Moremi Game Reserve, generally considered Africa’s most beautiful wildlife sanctuary, was established by the Tawana people to protect the wildlife that was being decimated by hunters – making the reserve unique in Africa. Named after the Tawana chief Moremi the reserve today consists of a wide variety of habitats that support one of Africa’s greatest concentrations of wildlife including one of the largest populations of the endangered wild dogs in Africa.
