The Circuit, stop by stop
Open each park or gateway for its wildlife, seasonality, access, and nearby Safari geography.
South Gate is the mapped entry into Moremi; the reserve lies within the eastern Okavango landscape.
Reached on remote 4x4 tracks through Khwai and Mababe; Linyanti remains a distinct optional branch, not a false through-stop.
Sedudu Gate anchors this stop at the Chobe Riverfront after the interior Savuti landscape.
The circuit finishes in Kasane, the gateway town beside the Chobe River.
