Few other places in Africa have so many ecosystems seamlessly coexist and in such seclusion. From mopane woodland to floodplains, sparkling lagoons, winding rivers, and acacia forests, Moremi has it all and more. Striking predators roam the diverse landscapes in between massive herds of elephants, buffalo, zebra, and antelope. It is a genuine wilderness where nature’s timeless majesty unfolds before your eyes.
