• Your scheduled departure time from Maun is ± 0600hrs driving first to the South Gate to enter Moremi Game Reserve which extends over both wetland and dry country. Along the way an important mix of floodplain, forested island, lily covered lagoons with dense papyrus beds are visible. The sight of palm clusters and deep green mopane woodland add to this stunning scenery.
• Because the lagoons and channels form a vital section of the Okavango Delta eco-system, sightings of bird and animal populations become more frequent as the day progresses. An abundance of plains game attracts many predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah not forgetting the elusive African wild dog.
• On arrival at South Gate you can stretch your legs and enjoy a mini-breakfast. At the same time our professional guide will administer the relevant documents to enter the National Park. Later in the day lunch will be served at a convenient rest stop/vantage point.
• Throughout your safari many opportunities will present themselves to game view, bird watch and photograph a wide variety of wildlife, many of them water-dependant. The prolific number of birdlife ranges from water birds to shy forest dwellers.
• Elephants are numerous particularly in the dry season as are buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, hyena, jackal and numerous species of antelope, large and small including the red lechwe. Our guides know all the wildlife hotspots but please remember sightings are never guaranteed.
