On arrival, as you fly over the Delta, you can see the intricate twisting and turning of the waterways and the ever-changing colours where dry land meets Delta. In contrast to the northern Okavango Delta where the waters are fast-flowing and the channels and view is enclosed by high reeds and papyrus, the channels around Moremi Crossing offer far-reaching vistas of the Moremi's floodplains, grasslands, and marginal woodlands interspersed with Mokolwane palm islands.
The central dining area houses a large open plan deck that has spectacular views over the Boro River onto Chief's Island. This half-moon shaped area is built on different levels to give a spacious feel. The dining room, bar and lounge is covered by a large thatched roof that hugs the ancient riverene tree line. The whole camp is shaded by magnificent Llala Palms, Giant Ebony, Mangosteen, Sausage and Giant Fig trees.
Located near the most southern part of Chief's Island, Moremi Crossing is situated on a small palm fringed and treed island called Ntsiwi, which is surrounded by the Moremi's game-rich seasonal floodplain
Accommodation consists of 16 en suite and spacious tents on raised decks, each with their own veranda overlooking Chief's Island. Tents have their own eco-friendly outdoor shower heated by solar power. We have both a Family Tent sleeping four (2 adults and 2 children) and a Honeymoon Tent with an outdoor bath.

Moremi Crossing offers some superb safari activities. The availability of many of these depends on water levels. Please note, there’s a minimum age requirement of 12 years for walks and mokoro excursions.
Become part of the bustling river life along the papyrus clad banks of the Okavango Delta. Explore the wilderness with our game drives, guided bush walks, or sit back and absorb the scenery from a traditional 'mokoro' canoe. Another great way to explore the crystal clear channels of the Boro River is by motor-boat. Watch the sun set while drifting along a lagoon and sipping on sundowners. For the adventurous, we also offer a rustic island camping experience. Game drives will be available only when water levels are low. There will be no game drives when water levels are high as areas of the concession become inaccessible. Mokoros, boat cruises & fishing are also water level dependent.
This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
Moremi Crossing, like all Kwando Safaris' camps, is proudly wifi-free and network-free, offering you a pure safari experience.
Guests arrive at Moremi Crossing via mokoro or motorboat. Ntswi Airstrip is approximately 20 minute's flight on light-aircraft from Maun, and 1 hour 30 minute's flight from Kasane, provided there are no other stops along the way.
Since this area normally receives floods last it contains some of the closest dryseason watering points for the game that spreads out towards Nxai and Makgadikgadi Pans during the rains. Around this, there is a high density of game in the dry season but since quite a lot of the reserve is mopane woodlands (a favourite location for animals during the rains and early dry season) good game viewing is expected all year round. This river system attracts a wide variety of game. Familiar favourites include: Elephant, Buffalo, Giraffe, Kudu, Impala, Tsessebe, Hippo, Crocodile, Genet, Honey Badger and a host of Plains Game. Rare Antelope breeds including Roan, Sable & Eland, not normally seen in the Okavango region, occur here. As the Gomoti is the main water source in the area, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dog come down to the riverside to drink and hunt, of course! The locations and views are spectacular with the classic flooding of the Okavango across the adjacent seasonal floodplains. For those keen on bird-watching, the combination of the wetlands and the drier Acacia and Mopane veldt provide a perfect habitat for a variety of aquatic species including Open Billed Storks, Hammerkops, Egrets, Ibis and forest/savannah dwellers including Raptors, Shrikes, Drongos, Sunbirds, Ground Hornbills and so on
