After a delicious, cooked breakfast, your guide will prepare the car and collect your luggage. After receiving a briefing from your guide, drive roughly 3 to 4 hours to the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve, popularly known as the beating heart of the Okavango. Here is where your safari will begin. Some light lunches will be supplied shortly after entering Moremi, while your game ranger uses his remarkable skills to interpret wildlife for you in a unique way.
Moremi is a place of opposites, with flowing canals and a dry peninsula known as the 'Mopane Tongue'. The mopane trees thrive in this location, which has a high density and diversity of animal viewing opportunities, including the always-exciting leopard sighting.
Over one-third of the Okavango Delta's total area is the reserve, which has Chobe National Park as its northern border.
Sit around the open fire and eat a nice supper while listening to the sounds of the night. We will spend the night at Moremi.

You will awaken to the soothing sounds of the untamed African bushveld. This morning, you will be served a delicious breakfast while you take in the endless picturesque views and wildlife chimes of this unique area for the final time.
Today, say goodbye to this 'country full of rivers' and its wonderful acacia woods, mopane woodlands, papyrus rivers, floodplains, and lagoons as you embark on your final game drive back to Maun. With the free-flowing movement of species, you could look for more fascinating wildlife to add to your list.
Your ranger will speak with you to identify what you still want to experience and which creatures you still want to see so that he can make a concerted attempt to do so on your final game of the tour.
Shortly after lunch, you will gradually return to Maun and be left off (including at the airport).
This will mark the end of your excursion.
