Moremi Game Reserve
... Botswana
Moremi
has in the past suffered the ravages of a rinderpest epidemic in the
last century, overgrazing by indigenous pastoral farmers up until the
1940's and saw uncontrolled hunting until the early 1960's.
Two and a
half decades after proclamation as a reserve by Chief Moremi's family,
the reserve is now one of the most scenic and varied game parks in
Africa with prolific populations of wildlife and birds.
Today,
Moremi covers almost a third of the entire Okavango Delta - a diverse
habitat where the desert and delta meet, comprising forests, lagoons,
floodplains, pans and woodlands.
Moremi
contains the full spectrum of game and birdlife found in the Okavango
and is the premier safari attraction in the Delta. The Delta is renowned
for its mokoro trails.
