Wildlife of Botswana
Be on incredible Safaris
Go on safari with us and experience Botswanas animals and all of the big five up close and personal. Our guides grew up in the region of Khwai and Moremi and know the area by heart. We will give you a deep insight into Botswanas beautiful nature and animals as well as in cultural aspects. Observe the wildlife of Botswana on our Safaris on foot, by vehicle or on a traditional Mokoro Safari. But also relaxing in our lodge can be a wonderful experience. All the wildlife of Botswana spotted on safari can be seen from the private deck of your own luxury safari tents or from our dining area.
Botswana is known for the highest elephant population in Africa. The number of elephants in Botswana was estimated to more than 120 000 elephants and make up a big part of the wildlife of Botswana. The biggest populations of elephants can be found in the vast areas of the Okavango Delta. Due to permanent water sources the Okavango Delta provides perfect living conditions not only for elephants but also for several other elusive animals belonging to the wildlife of Botswana. Elephants are regular visitors to our safari lodge feeding of the trees surrounding the charlets. But also Zebras, Hippos and other plains game can be spotted grazing in front of the lodge. For a complete List of Birds and Mammals see below.
Full Day Game Drive
Enjoy Botswanas best animal viewing areas on a full day Game Drive and discover Botswanas incredible nature. We offer full day safaris in the close Moremi National Park and Khwai Area including lunch, drinks and guiding.
Night Drives
Giving the fact that our lodge is located directly in the Khwai Concession O Bona Moremi is one of the few lodges in Botswana that is able to operate night drives. Guests are able to see the nature from a whole new perspective and have the chance to spot rare nocturnal animals!
Mokoro Tours
Next to viewing animals on land we also offer safaris in traditional boats known as Mokoros. Guests can witness the water world of the mighty Okavango river. Guest on Safaris with Mokoros are able to take new paths that can not be taken by Safari vehicles.

Why our Lodge is perfect for Game Viewing
Unique Location
O Bona Moremi lays in the Core Area of the Okavango Delta in the wild Khwai Concession. “O Bona” means “look upon” which means that we can see Moremi Game Reserve from our Lodge. Due to the lack of fences the wildlife migrates from Moremi directly to Khwai and our lodge. For more information about the location click here.
Excellent Photographic Opportunities
We only operate with open game viewing vehicles that provide a wide panoramic view and are well equipped for muddy and wet terrain. Our local guides know the area and have long years of guiding experience. Khwai is known for special leopard sightings, bathing elephants and grunting hippos. For a gallery click here.
Safaris by Car, Boat and on Foot
Various animals can be spotted from three different perspectives. Either from the comfortable Safari seat on our game viewing vehicles, in the traditional mokoros or on foot led by our local guides. None of the three safaris is like the other and each provides its own special experience. For activities click here.
