This game reserve has no fences, therefore allowing unobstructed seasonal movement of game making this a largely natural area. This is a paradise for birds, game and predators alike. Moremi’s scenery alone is enough reason to want to visit this park. Completely varied vegetation is what makes this area so special. Within one hour of travelling it is possible to view the first of the wildlife inhabiting this area. We will spend 2 nights camping in the Xaxanaka area.
