MOREMI GAME RESERVE - Moremi extends east and northwards
to join Chobe National Park, ensuring a continuous area of protected
land all the way to Kasane. Because Moremi reserve and Chobe National
park are not fenced, animals are able to follow their own migration
routes without interference, and use of the land adjacent to the
officially protected areas is also carefully controlled.
Moremi is lush and varied - a patchwork of lagoons, shallow flooded
pans, plains and forests. It is one of Africa's finest areas for
wildlife, with particularly high game densities. The animals found
here are numerous, relaxed and often allow vehicles to approach
closely.
CHOBE NATIONAL
PARK - Located in the northern Kalahari region; the Chobe National
Park was named after the Chobe River which runs along Botswana's
northern border. The National Park covers about 11,700km² and
consists mainly of dense thorny bush emerging from deep alluvial
soils; this park is world renowned for the magnificent array of
wildlife contained within its borders.
THE CHOBE
RIVERFRONT - The Chobe Riverfront forms part of the Chobe National
Park and is located on the northern border of Botswana, this pristine
wilderness, ranges from the verdant flood grassland and thickets
beside the Chobe River to forest, Mopane woodland and scrub.
Along the riverfront the wildlife roams in profusion and diversity.
The elephant population, estimated to number in excess 30,000, is
the largest single concentration in Africa surviving within the
