Moremi Crossing

Okavango Delta


This well-priced collection of lovely chalets flanks a simply gorgeous (and enormous) thatched dining and bar area that overlooks a long floodplain where you can often see wandering giraffes and elephants. Rooms are simpler than many in the delta, but prices, too, are more modest. Mokoro trips and wildlife drives are the main activities.

The camp is to be commended for pioneering a plumbing system that minimises environmental impact (it’s also quite a feat of engineering – ask to see how it all works).

It's part of the well-regarded portfolio of Under One Botswana Sky.
