Subjects : The Moremi Game Reserve is located within the Okavango Delta, a unique region in the world where the Okavango River flows directly into the savannah and the African bush. The subjects that can be photographed are those typical of southern Africa: Lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, wild dogs (the symbol of the park), elephants, hippos, white and black rhinos (very rare and difficult to see), buffoons, zebras, giraffes, warlike, Impala, kudu, Gnu, water antelope, lechwe, crocodiles, Nile varans, and many species of birds.

Recommended equipment : The recommended equipment is an SLR (or ML) with a telephoto lens (500mm), a superzoom (150/600mm) and a wide angle (14mm). Being Africa the dust and the weather are the order of the day, then I recommend tropicalized equipment.

Best months : All year round. The dry season (our summer) is the most suitable for animal sightings. The Moremi is rich in water and the typical bush vegetation in the rainy season is very lush and green making it more complicated to find the fauna. During the dry season (our summer) the temperature in the night is quite stiff (even 8-10 degrees), but during the day you can easily reach 25-35 degrees. In the rainy season (our winter) is very hot and humid and you also reach the 40 degrees with less thermal excursion between day and night.

How to get there : You will land at Maun Airport and follow the signs to the Moremi Game Reserve to the north. The paved road ends early to continue on a road in good condition but unpaved. From Maun to the first gate of the park you need about 3-4 hours of travel.

Visits : The entrance is of course for a fee, and like most of the African parks the opening goes from sunrise to sunset.

Notes : The Moremi Reserve is a protected area of Botswana. It is located on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta and is named after the chief Moremi of the Batawana tribe. Before being established National Park, the Moremi was a hunting reserve. The roads of the Moremi change drastically according to the season and the water level of the Delta, for this reason it is very important to know the territory very well and to have appropriate vehicles and equipments.
