The beautiful thatched lodge nestles between permanent water and grass-swept plains and was built with a commitment to “treading lightly on the earth”. The result is organic architecture that blends seamlessly with one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa.

In the centre of the Okavango Delta is the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, a 3 000 sq km paradise. Proclaimed a wildlife reserve by the Tswana people in 1963, Moremi is undoubtedly one of the world's most pristine wilderness areas. The foresight of the local community has ensured that nature's web has flourished undisturbed, offering a glimpse of the divine, a veritable Garden of Eden. Moremi is a place of lily-covered wetlands, grass plains and forests, where even at the busiest time of year you're likely to be the only spectators at the most dramatic animal sighting.

Moremi consists of a network of waterways surrounding two large islands, Chiefs Island in the west and Mopane Tongue in the east. The area's diverse ecosystems, riverine woodland, flood plains, wetlands and reed beds, mopane forest and dry savannah woodland are all flourishing, broken only by the occasional jeep track. This diversity of habitats provides rich pickings for an impressive variety of animals and around 550 bird species. As Moremi is a fenced reserve game viewing is impressive throughout the year. However, the cool dry winter months from to March to September are an ideal time to visit, as you are practically guaranteed sightings of lion, elephant, leopard, hyena, eland, kudu, roan antelope, giraffe, zebra, impala and buffalo. On the sandy riverbanks and wetlands, sightings of hippos and crocodiles are commonplace.

Moremi is accessed either by air or road via Maun, Botswana's tourism capital. However, the maze of sandy roads which take you to Moremi South Gate deteriorate once inside the reserve, varying from deep sandbanks to potholed detours. A self-drive through Moremi is really only advisable for experienced 4x4 drivers and in the dry months. There are three serviced campsites in the reserve, these are unfenced and as the animals frequently prowl for scraps in the dead of night, will definitely make you feel that you are in the heart of wildest Africa. For the less adventurous Moremi is best seen by vehicle safari and boat trips from the luxury lodges within the reserve.
