Overview

Concealed within the canopy of the Moremi Game Reserve, and in an area renowned for its spectacular game-viewing, Camp Moremi provides a fantastic base from which to observe the diverse wildlife that migrate to the Okavango Delta. Being a National Park, the area can be busy with game vehicle traffic, but the density of wildlife in this area more than compensates.

The Xakanaxa area is home to prides of lion, leopard, and cheetah not seen in such numbers elsewhere, as well as herds of elephant that graze nearby. It consists of vast open grassland, riverine habitats, seasonal floodplains, and Mopane forests: Camp Moremi is positioned right in the middle of it all. Guests can explore the plains by Land Cruisers and the Xakanaxa Lagoon or surrounding Okavango channels by motorboat. The waters attract diverse bird species, so guests can expect to be afforded exceptional bird-watching opportunities.

Much like a bird-watching hide itself, Camp Moremi conceals itself among the rich foliage of Africa’s Ebony trees. Its lodge is thatched and built from timber, and is elevated to offer guests the best possible vantage point over the Xanakaxana Lagoon without having to climb a nearby tree. A wildlife reference library and lavish cocktail bar make up the rest of the lodge, whilst individually plated starters and desserts, and buffet-style main courses, are served under an Ebony canopy in the dining room. Breakfast, brunch, and high tea can be savoured in a thatched boma, and nightcaps beside a fire pit. A swimming pool in which guests can enjoy total seclusion compliments the Camp’s retreat nature.

Camp Moremi can accommodate a maximum of 24 guests at any one time in its 12 raised-platform and luxurious custom-style safari tents. All rooms offer superb bush views from their private teak viewing decks, and include twin beds with en-suite bathrooms. The Camp offers one family unit, which consists of two inter-leading bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms with the same exceptional viewing decks as the other safari tents. Families with children between the ages of 6 and 11 must book private activities at an additional cost, and only children over the age of 6 years are welcome. Families that enjoy tranquillity will get the most out of Camp Moremi.

  • Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!

    Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.

    Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!

    All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.

    Thanks you once again!

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”
