Rich biodiversity including wild dogs
Botswana
Moremi covers the eastern third of the Okavango Delta and is the part of the delta reachable by road, which makes it the classic Botswana self-drive: sand tracks between Xakanaxa, Third Bridge and Khwai, public campsites that must be pre-booked, and the mokoro and boat trips from the lagoons. It has one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, with lion, leopard, wild dog, elephant and buffalo, and a bird list that peaks in the wet months. The dry season from May to October is the reliable time; the summer rains can close the tracks. It is a malaria area.

Why book here
Wild places survive when the communities around them earn more from protecting wildlife than from anything that would replace it. Every stay you book through Spekboom carries a conservation contribution built into the price, never added on top, so choosing where you sleep becomes a way to fund the people and projects keeping this landscape intact.

Inside parkSituated in the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve, Camp Moremi enjoys breath-taking vistas over the Xakanaxa Lagoon. Nestled within a natural riverine forest of teak and ebony trees, twelve tented safari suites have an East-African flavour and a classic touch. Hidden in lush green trees and branches, it feels like you are walking in an African fairytale forest. Enjoy outside dinners under an amazing starry sky, let a professional staff pamper you with their humour and warmth, dive in the large pool, start your day with homemade pancakes and enjoy excellent elephant, lion and leopard sightings (among many other species). With no Wi-Fi connection, you are truly away from your fast pace life. Move with the rhythm of elephants, smell the sweet, warm breeze and explore African land and waters - you will leave Camp Moremi with an everlasting experience (and new friends). Feel at home.
Inside parkAs you lay your weary head to rest at night, hippos graze in front of your tent, snorting occasionally. At Camp Xakanaxa, you won't find concrete walls; at this authentic camp, only canvas will be between you and the wildlife. Located in the heart of Moremi Game Reserve, often rated as one of the best wildlife viewing areas of Africa, is an original bush camp, Camp Xakanaxa. Not only will you be in touch with the environment, but the staff of this camp is also absolutely heart-warming. Manager Ben is one of those hosts with the unique ability of truly making you feel special. His hospitality radiates through the entire staff, as they all seem to have a great eye for details and make you feel like family from the moment you arrive. Its idyllic location on the banks of the Khwai River overlooking the Xakanaxa Lagoon ensures it is one of the few camps to provide you with a year round land and water, game viewing experience.
