A male Red Lechwe (Kobus leche) runs through shallow water on the edge of the Okavango Swamp in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve. These water-loving antelopes have splayed hooves, which are ideal for bounding through water and mud. They have shaggy chesnut-red coats and fine lyre-shaped horns.Moremi incorporates Chief's Island and was the first reserve in Africa to be created by indigenous Africans. Protecting the rich and diverse ecosystems of the central and eastern areas of the Okavango Delta, Moremi is the only area accessible by motor vehicle in dry weather.
