Zeer bijzondere landkaart van Moreni Game Reserve in Botswana. Uitermate handig zijn de GPS coördinaten van de meest belangrijke punten als campings of uitzichtspunten. De kaart is gebaseerd op een luchtfoto, waarbij alle details zijn ingetekend.
The map: The Moremi map is based on satellite photos. The front of the map consists of a map of the entire Reserve and on the back are six separate maps of Khwai river-front east, Khwai river-front west, an orientation map of Moremi, Xakanaxa area and the Moanachira river, Xakanaxa game-drive area and Bodumatau area. The roads were tracked by GPS and there are 162 GPS co-ordinates on the map.
General: As part of the Okavango Delta, Moremi consists of permanent swamp, seasonally swamped areas and dry land. It is one of the prime tourist destinations in Botswana and offers water activities, top game-viewing, some of the best bird-life in Africa and incredible scenery. Not to be missed!
Locality and size: The Moremi Game Reserve is nestled within the Okavango Delta and completely buffered by wildlife management areas. When it was first established in 1963, it covered only the dry-land triangle but today it comprises 4 871 km2.
How to get there: All the camps are accessible by air but only the dry-land triangle between South Gate, Mboma Island, Xakanaxa and North Gate is accessible by road. From Maun one travels north-east for 100 km to get to South Gate. From Kasane one travels south-west for about 265 km.
Where to stay: All the camps around Moremi are indicated on the map. Detailed address references are supplied in the Shell Tourist Travel Guide of Botswana, which is presented as a package with the Botswana map.
Best season to visit: Winter is the best time to visit (from May to August) but September to December is the best time for bird-watching. The roads are very difficult to negotiate during the rainy season and the animals are more scattered.
