Fodor's Expert Review Camp Moremi

Moremi Game Reserve, North West, Botswana

Rebuilt in 2018 to match the style and specification of its sister Camp Okavango with spacious rooms and an expansive multi-level main area, this cleverly designed camp blends seamlessly into the woodland on the banks of Xakanaxa lagoon. Winding wooden walkways connect the bar, library, and elevated lounges, where you can relax among an eclectic mix of African ornaments, weathered chests, and numerous plush sofas replete with dozens of turquoise and marine-blue cushions. Thatched angular rooms with wood floors, desk, sofa, and a decadent mosaic-walled double shower are furnished in subtle tones. A private deck with loungers lies beyond a panel of concertina wood and glass folding doors, which open completely to remove any barrier between your room and the lush landscape outside. This corner of Moremi boasts a phenomenal diversity of wildlife, from elephants, giraffes, zebras and buffalo to lions, leopards, wild dogs, and cheetahs. Birdlife is similarly impressive­– if you are lucky, you might even spot the rare Pel's fishing owl from camp. Boating is also available throughout the year.
