The roads/tracks are significantly worse than elsewhere. The dry bits have very fine, dusty sand and there are parts under water. The dry bits also often have very deep loose sand requiring a lot of effort from the vehicle. Our truck thing is quite open at the sides and has a canvas roof which was good for shade. You get in the front like a bus rather than climbing up the sides using footholds.
Camp Moremi is about 10 minutes from the airstrip and we saw Impala, elephants, giraffes (with heaps of tick eating birds on their necks) and zebras just on the way to the camp.
We arrived at 1.30, so were shown around the camp and to our room before the afternoon game drive. It’s a very different lodge. Much older but with lovely grass lawns and some nice, open reception and dining areas. 
The site borders the water so you can do vehicle game drives out the back or take a boat trip from the front. More unusual names: Manila, Lopsy, Lets, and Grass – as well as Frank, Stephen and Vinny.
Our room was much more basic. It is more tent than cabin and was not unlike the accommodation at the Masai Mara. 
There was a separate bathroom with particularly temperamental shower, but plenty of hot water. It has quite a bit of open mesh, even at night, so got chilly but Mike and I were warm enough and they give you bush babies for bed. 
After afternoon tea we set off to meet our new companions. They had just come off the plane so hadn’t even checked into their room when we picked them up at the park gate. They are a family from the USA and are great company. They had been travelling through South Africa with another family but were not all able to stay in the same lodge. The parents are Bill and Judy and they have Hannah (17), Allie (15) and Lucas (12).
We had all seen the major mammals in the other safari parks but were keen to see how the animals in this environment behaved differently. None of us were sure what to make of Cops. He didn’t seem to volunteer much information and when answering gave quite short replies that omitted a lot of information we got from other guides. As far as animals, we saw elephants, zebras, various antelopes, a leopard under a tree with an Impala carcass above, giraffes and lots of hippos beside the lake where we had afternoon tea. 
Dinner was upstairs in a lovely dining/bar area. The food was nice including the Kudu steaks – that could have been beef. Plenty of salads and vegetables. No wifi again, just a laptop where you can check emails.
Apart from the iffy shower (scalding hot or freezing cold) the tent was comfortable and we slept without hearing the hippos.
