Moremi Wildlife Reserve is the official wildlife preservation area located within the
Okavango Delta. Its habitats range from mopane woodland and thorn scrub to dry savannah,
riparian woodland, grassland, flood plain, marsh and permanent waterways,
lagoons and islands. Like much of the Delta, it is home to an extraordinary variety of
dry and wetland animals and is a wonderful place to explore.
Okavango river rises in Angola's well-watered Benguela plateau and flows
1 000 miles south eastwards until it divides into a number of lesser watercourses.
A series of movements in the earth’s crust diverted the Okavango River from its original
course causing it to make its way into Botswana’s Kalahari Desert, where it forms a
vast delta. The Okavango Delta is one of the world’s largest inland deltas.
The Kalahari Desert stretches across seven countries and covers the entire central
and south western regions of Botswana. However, its name is misleading because the
average rainfall exceeds that of a true desert. Instead it is a vast, arid, predominantly
featureless area of sandy sediments. Its plains are covered by scrub, grasses and patches
of woodland. There is no surface water in the Kalahari and only occasional rivers.
Chobe National Park lies in the far north-eastern corner of Botswana. It is well-watered by
the Chobe River and thereby contains Botswana’s most varied and dense game populations.
The river runs through the northern part of the Chobe and with its perennial water supply
supports the greatest population of game in the park. The Savuti Marshes in the west and
the Linyanti Swamps in the northeast also attract a huge amount of wildlife and during
the wet season, they draw abundant birdlife.
A major feature of Chobe National Park is its elephant population, currently estimated to
be approximately 120,000. These elephants are migratory as they journey on a seasonal
basis from the Chobe and Linyanti Rivers during the wet season to the pans in the
southeast of the park where they go during the rains, a journey of up to 150 miles.
This is one of the best game-viewing areas in Africa. The range of species is enormous
and their numbers can be quite staggering. Major species include giraffe, elephant,
zebra, impala, tsessebe, roan antelope, sable, wildebeest, kudu, buffalo, waterbuck,
warthog and eland. Predators include lion, hyena, jackal and bat-eared fox. Wild dog and
cheetah are also occasionally found in the region.
