Coordinates:22.572002°S 27.447719°E
The official National heritage site is where perennial streams have cut deep gorges into the hills, with waterfalls cascading into deep pools surrounded by lush vegetation. The gorges are home to many birds that feeds on the fish and small crabs in the pools, and are breeding grounds for the endangered Cape vulture. Leopard, hyena and kudu live in the hills, and the cliffs above the gorge harbour baboons and rock rabbits. It is shrouded in mystery with many amazing myths and legends.
The facility has 8 luxury Meru-tents with en-suite bathroom and shower, air conditioning, and complimentary amenities 6 self-catering Chalets and 5 camp sites with individual ablution, wash-up area and braai facility. It also has a 30 seater restaurant, activities include Nature walks as well as Gorge hiking. .
Declared a protected National Monument under the National Monuments and Relics Act of 2001, the alluring Goo-Moremi Gorge is a sight to behold with spectacular gorges, five ascending pools and mystical waterfalls. The area has deep cultural significance for the Batswapong of the region, who believe the Goo-Moremi Gorge is the resting place of their ancestral spirits, or Badimo.
Apart from its rolling hills, unspoilt gorges, perennial crystal clear water pools, quiet flowing waterfalls and exclusive birdlife, Goo-Moremi is an area shrouded in mystery with many amazing myths and legends. For instance, during the morning of July 13, 1980 between 2am and 5am the villagers of Goo-Moremi heard a loud rumbling as a huge rock tumbled from the gorge above. The rock falling, the story goes, was a sign or message that someone of great importance had passed on. That morning, sad news came through that the first president of Botswana and paramount chief of Bangwato Sir Seretse Khama had died. Apparently the village elders already knew about the death of a leader through their ancestors. In Conclusion, the Resort being a Heritage Site, including the old Moremi settlement, it is also an IBA (Important Birding Area) housing endangered Cape Vultures and a habitat to some wildlife including Zebra, Wildebeest, Kudu, Haartebeest, Eland, Baboons, klipspringers, etc).
