The itinerary

Day 01

Scenic Flight Arrival at Camp Moremi

From Maun (MUB), enjoy a scenic 25-minute flight over the Okavango Delta channels.

From Kasane (BBK), the flight takes about 75 minutes and is often used by travelers combining their trip with Chobe National Park or Victoria Falls.

Scheduled hop-flights can also connect you directly from sister properties such as Camp Okavango or Savute Safari Lodge.

Because these transfers use light aircraft, such as a Cessna 206 or GA8 Airvan, strict safety weight and size limits apply.

Maximum weight: 20 kg (44 lbs) per person, including all hand luggage.
Bag type: Soft-sided bags only. Rigid frames, hard plastic shells, and built-in wheels, for example hard Samsonite cases, are physically prohibited because they cannot fit into the aircraft's small cargo pods.

Day 02

10:00: Settle your personal bar or curio account at the main office and hand in your room keys.
Variable time: A lodge guide will transfer you by open 4x4 vehicle back to the Xakanaxa Airstrip roughly 45 minutes prior to your specific pilot's touchdown.

To Maun (MUB): A 25-minute scenic flight to connect with commercial airlines heading to Johannesburg or Cape Town.

What to bring

Clothing & colors
Neutral tones: pack khaki, beige, olive green, and brown fabrics.
Avoid blue and black: these colors actively attract biting tsetse flies.
Avoid bright white: it stands out too clearly and scares wildlife away.
No camouflage: wearing military-style camo prints is illegal for civilians in Botswana.
3x lightweight shirts: long sleeves protect against sun and insects.
2x safari pants: zip-off pants that convert to shorts are ideal.
1x comfortable shoes: sturdy trail running shoes or light hiking boots. No heavy boots are needed for vehicle or boat safaris.
Climate layers (chilly mornings / hot afternoons)
1x heavy fleece or windproof jacket: morning drives in open 4x4 vehicles are freezing.
1x beanie, scarf, and gloves: crucial for winter months (May to August).
1x wide-brimmed sun hat: it must have a chin strap so it does not blow off in moving boats and vehicles.

Know before you go

Malaria prophylaxis: Camp Moremi sits in a high-risk, year-round malaria zone. Taking doctor-recommended prophylaxis, such as Malarone or Doxycycline, is strongly urged.
Vaccination requirements: No mandatory vaccines are required if arriving directly from Europe or North America. However, a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is strictly mandatory if you are transiting through a country with risk of yellow fever virus transmission, such as parts of Zambia or Kenya.
Water safety: Tap water inside your tent is filtered and safe for showering and brushing teeth, but bottled or purified water is provided complimentary for drinking.
Drone ban: The use of drones is strictly prohibited at the camp and throughout the entire Moremi Game Reserve due to national park environmental laws.
No night drives or off-roading: Because the camp is located within a national reserve rather than a private concession, vehicles must strictly remain on designated tracks and return to camp before sunset.
Unfenced safety warning: The camp is entirely unfenced. Wildlife, including elephants, hippos, and large predators, moves freely through the grounds. Walking alone after dark is forbidden; a staff escort is required to and from your tent at night.
