Moremi Game Reserve: Begin Your Wildlife Adventure
Your journey can begin in Moremi Game Reserve, one of Botswana’s most celebrated wildlife destinations.
Moremi is located within the greater Okavango Delta ecosystem and contains an extraordinary mixture of habitats.
During game drives, you may encounter:
- Elephants
- Lions
- Leopards
- African wild dogs
- Buffaloes
- Giraffes
- Zebras
- Wildebeest
- Hippos
- Antelopes
- Numerous bird species
The combination of dry land and waterways makes Moremi particularly special.
Game Drives in Moremi
Morning and afternoon game drives provide opportunities to explore different areas of the reserve.
Early morning is often an excellent time to search for predators, while afternoon drives can reveal elephants, giraffes, antelopes and other wildlife becoming active as temperatures cool.
With an experienced guide, you can also learn about animal behavior, tracks, plants and the ecology of the Okavango ecosystem.
Water Experiences in Moremi
Depending on your camp location, season and local water conditions, you may also enjoy boat excursions or traditional mokoro experiences.
These activities provide a completely different perspective of the Delta.
Instead of traveling through the wilderness by vehicle, you can quietly move through waterways while observing hippos, crocodiles, birds and other aquatic wildlife.
Chobe National Park: The Land of Elephants
After Moremi, continue toward Chobe National Park, located in northern Botswana near the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Chobe is particularly famous for its large elephant population.
During the dry season, elephants frequently gather around the Chobe River, creating spectacular wildlife-viewing opportunities.
Chobe Game Drives
Game drives allow you to explore the park’s diverse landscapes in search of elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and other wildlife.
The experienced safari guides know the park well and can help locate wildlife while explaining the behavior and ecology of the animals.
Chobe River Boat Safari
One of the highlights of a Moremi, Chobe and Victoria Falls Safari is a Chobe River boat cruise.
From the water, you may see elephants approaching the river to drink and bathe, hippos resting in the water and crocodiles lying along the riverbanks.
The river also attracts large numbers of birds, making a boat safari excellent for photographers and bird enthusiasts.
Sunset cruises can be particularly beautiful as the African sky changes color over the river.
Victoria Falls: The Smoke That Thunders
The final stage of the journey takes you to Victoria Falls, one of Africa’s most famous natural landmarks.
The falls stretch across the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe and create a spectacular wall of cascading water.
Standing near the falls, you can experience the enormous spray, hear the roar of the water and appreciate the scale of this remarkable natural wonder.
Things to Do at Victoria Falls
Your Victoria Falls experience can include more than sightseeing.
Depending on the season and your interests, activities can include:
- Victoria Falls guided tour

- Cultural experiences

Best Time for a Moremi, Chobe and Victoria Falls Safari
This safari can be enjoyed throughout the year, but different seasons provide different experiences.
May to October
The dry season is generally excellent for wildlife viewing in Botswana.
As water becomes increasingly important, elephants and other animals may gather around rivers, channels and permanent water sources.
This can make both Moremi and Chobe particularly rewarding.
November to April
The green season brings lush landscapes, seasonal rains and excellent birdwatching.
Moremi becomes beautifully green, and Victoria Falls experiences changing water conditions throughout the year.
Traveling during the green season can also provide a quieter safari experience.
When Is the Best Time to See Victoria Falls?
Victoria Falls changes dramatically throughout the year.
During periods of high water, the falls can produce enormous amounts of spray and create a spectacular display of cascading water.
During lower-water periods, some sections can be more clearly visible, and certain activities may become more accessible.
The ideal time therefore depends on whether your priority is experiencing the falls at maximum flow or enjoying clearer views and particular adventure activities.
How Many Days Do You Need?
A 7-day safari can provide a shorter introduction to the three destinations.
For a more relaxed experience, 9 to 10 days is ideal.
Travelers with more time can extend the itinerary by adding:
- Okavango Delta
- Savuti
- Makgadikgadi Pans
- Hwange National Park
- Livingstone
- Zambia
- Uganda gorilla trekking
Can You Combine Uganda Gorilla Trekking with This Safari?
Yes.
Travelers who want to experience both Southern and East Africa can extend the itinerary to include Uganda gorilla trekking.
For example:
Victoria Falls → Chobe → Moremi → Uganda
or:
Uganda → Moremi → Chobe → Victoria Falls
This combination provides an extraordinary contrast between Botswana’s open wilderness and Uganda’s lush mountain rainforest.
In Uganda, travelers can trek through Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in search of mountain gorillas, creating an adventure that combines classic African safari wildlife with one of the world’s most remarkable primate experiences.
