Camera: Canon EOS 400D (EOS Rebel XTi) digital; Lens: Canon EOS 100-400 IS Zoom.

Location: Moremi Game Reserve was established in 1963 following its designation by Chief Moremi. As such it is the first wildlife sanctuary in southern Africa created by an indigenous tribe.

Moremi lies in the eastern region of the world-renowned Okavango Delta, a magical mosaic of channels, lagoons, and lakes formed by annual flooding after summer rains in neighboring Angola. The area's waterways, grasslands and woodlands are host to a wide diversity of fauna and flora. There are a number of luxury safari lodges in Moremi and the Okavango that offer guests spectacular game viewing by vehicle and mokoro (dugout canoe).
