This spectacular space features a spacious wooden open-plan design, complete with a dining room, bar, and lounge, all elegantly nestled under thatched roofing. It's a wonderful spot to unwind and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of this remarkable region.

Just off to the side, a shaded deck adds another layer of luxury, offering a tranquil retreat with a small, inviting pool surrounded by sun loungers. This thoughtful addition ensures guests can relax in style while soaking up the serenity of their surroundings.

Safari Activities

Moremi Crossing Safari Lodge, nestled in the mesmerizing waters of the Okavango Delta, offers a truly unique and tranquil safari experience. This is a water-based safari destination like no other. While the camp does not provide traditional game drives, it more than makes up for it with its incredible range of alternative activities that immerse you in the beauty of the Delta. From serene mokoro safaris to scenic motorboat journeys and guided walking safaris, every moment here is designed to connect you with nature in an unforgettable way.

For those seeking an extra dose of adventure, Island Camping is a standout experience. Imagine this: just you, your expert guide, a mokoro, and the simplicity of a tent on a secluded island in the middle of the Delta. It's an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the wilderness—pure magic.

Activities at Moremi Crossing Safari Lodge include:

  • Tranquil mokoro safaris through the waterways
  • Guided bush walks, offering a chance to explore on foot
