Location Of Moremi Crossing
Located near the most southern part of Chief’s Island, Moremi Crossing is situated on a small palm fringed and treed island called Ntswi which is surrounded by the Moremi’s game-rich seasonal floodplains. Moremi Crossing is a short scenic 20 minute flight from Maun. 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 and its sister camp Gunn’s Camp offer far reaching vistas of the Moremi’s floodplain, grasslands and marginal woodlands interspersed with Mokolwane palm islands.
Safari Experience At Moremi Crossing
Time slows down at Moremi Crossing as here guests have the chance to experience the Okavango Delta and its game from a very different slower and closer perspective: whilst on foot or silently being poled by mokoro through the Delta’s waterways whilst in search of game. Through the provision of high quality guiding services and new custom made boats Moremi Crossing offers a more personalized wildlife experience. Activities on offer are half or full day mokoro trips with game walks, bush walks with picnic lunch, wilderness camping and sunset motorboat cruises. Game walks are conducted on the border of Chief’s Island where you may come across numerous animal species not to mention our wide selection of birds and insects. For the more adventurous we offer wilderness camping. This involves packing up a mokoro with camping equipment and going with a professional guide out into the Delta for a night or two. It’s a magical experience and a good way to get close to the birds and animals that the Delta has to offer. For the less energetic there are boat cruises up and down the Boro River or you can take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere of the camp and its facilities. Moremi Crossing combines simplicity with luxury and is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature at its best. Moremi Crossing being a water based camp offers a wide variety of animal and bird species, our walks on Chief’s Island give you the opportunity to get a better view of not just the big animals but the smaller insects and birds that contribute to the Okavango’s vast ecosystem. Game which has been spotted on walks has been Lion, Leopard, Wild dog, Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Buffalo, Red Lechwe and many more. On the mokoro’s you get to see the water birds like African Jacana’s, African Fish eagles and if you look carefully you will see the Malakite Kingfishers darting between the reeds, there is also a chance that your guide will find the rare Pel’s Fishing owl.

Moremi Crossing and Gunn’s Camp are sister camps located on the densely treed Ntswi Island approximately 1.5km apart from each other. Guests for both camps are flown to Ntswi Airstrip from where they access Moremi Crossing by a boat or a mokoro and/or are walked in to Gunn’s Camp.
Due to similarity in activities that both camps offer as well as overall experience we wouldn’t recommend combining these two camps in the same program. It’s ones personal choice whether to experience the magics of the Delta from the small, intimate Gunn’s Camp or more vibrant and great value for money camp – Moremi Crossing.
