Loading Map Assets...

The Moremi Reserve is wonderful throughout the year, the extraordinary concentration of wildlife makes it one of the best places for safari across the African continent; but the alternation of the seasons and the flood of the Okavango Delta have an inevitable influence on the visit to this location and the activities that take place there.

The rainy season begins between November and December, but rains are mainly concentrated in the months between January and March, in these months the vegetation is lush and makes the sighting a bit more difficult, and animals are no longer obliged to stay near the Okavango Delta, but can move freely in the area as water sources are available everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common questions from first-time and returning Moremi Game Reserve visitors — answered honestly.

What vaccinations do I need?

Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended. A Yellow Fever certificate is only required if arriving from an endemic country. Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Tetanus are also commonly recommended — consult your travel health clinic.

How much should I tip?

Tipping guidelines vary by camp — ask your operator for current recommendations for guides, camp staff, and balloon crews.

What dietary requirements can be catered for?

Most camps can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other common dietary requirements with advance notice at time of booking.

What is the difference between a camp and a lodge?

Camps are typically canvas tented accommodations offering a closer-to-nature feel, while lodges are permanent brick-and-mortar structures. Both range from budget to ultra-luxury.

Can animals enter my tent at night?

Most tented camps are unfenced, so wildlife can pass through camp at night. Tents are secure, and staff escort guests between tents after dark as standard procedure.

Is travel insurance compulsory?

While not always a legal requirement, comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment and air evacuation (e.g. AMREF Flying Doctors) is strongly recommended for any trip.
