Moremi Game Reserve is situated on the eastern side of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Moremi Game Reserve covers about 40% of the Okavango Delta.
Moremi was designated as a game reserve such that the local (BaSarwa) bushmen that previously lived in the park can stay and use the reserve's resources.
Besides having the largest population of African painted dogs, there are large numbers of Cape Buffalo, elephants, Lion. leopard, crocodile, hippo, giraffe, and rhinos among others. Combined with hundreds of bird species, Moremi is a true safari-goers dream.
