Moremi Crossing

Overview

Discover the heart of the Okavango Delta at Moremi Crossing, a classic tented eco-camp offering an authentic and serene water-based safari experience. Situated on the palm-fringed Ntswi Island within the Xaxaba Concession (NG 27B), this 100% solar-powered camp overlooks the wildlife-rich floodplains of the Boro River and the southern tip of Chief's Island. Its design prioritizes immersion in nature, with a magnificent, open-air main lodge built on a tiered wooden deck, offering uninterrupted panoramic views from its lounge, bar, and dining areas. The camp’s soul lies in its quiet connection to the wild. Instead of the rumble of engines, you'll hear the rustle of reeds and the calls of birds as you glide through the channels on a traditional mokoro or motorboat. The experience is intimate and thrillingly real, especially when resident elephants wander directly through the unfenced camp to feast on palm nuts. Moremi Crossing provides a perfect blend of rustic simplicity and essential comforts, making it an exceptional-value gateway to the pristine wilderness of the Delta. The best time to visit for classic mokoro and boat safaris is during the high-water season (May to September), while the low-water or green season (October to April) offers more game drives, lush landscapes, newborn animals, and excellent birding.
