Activities / Wildlife:
The game drives through
this sector of Moremi take one through a large variety of different
vegetation types, down winding tracks, through mopane forests and
across lush grasslands.
The waterways are either forded by vehicles or
crossed on rustic log bridges.
The camp faces out over the Xakanaxa
lagoon on the Khwai River, where boat trips lead into the sinuous
channels of the Delta; one of Africa's greatest natural wonders. |
 |
| Game in the area includes just
about everything imaginable - all the Moremi game can be seen on the game
drives, including tsessebe, lechwe, wildebeest, impala, waterbuck,
elephant, sable and giraffe.
The predators are prevalent and lion are
often heard calling in the early morning. Leopard, wild dog and hyena are
often sighted.
Birding in the area is excellent,
especially in the spring and summer months when the migrants are
breeding. To the north are the world-famous heronries which attract
large numbers of breeding storks and herons.
In the summer months the fishing is
very good. Mainly bream (Tilapia) but there are also tiger fish. Boat
trips and game drives are conducted by a team of experienced
professional guides. |
