Red Lechwe Rams Causing a Splash |
 Caption: A pair of red lechwe rams cause a splash as they run through shallow water in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana. Camera: Canon EOS 35mm film camera, color negative film.
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, including 36 species of larger mammal, 80 species of fish and 400 different birds. 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).
