Within eastern Moremi, the dry triangle of the Mopane Tongue juts into the Delta from the east, between the Khwai and Mogogelo rivers. Each side of this is about 40km long, and roughly marking the corners are the campsites of South Gate, North Gate and Xakanaxa – a reminder that this is the only area of Moremi that's accessible for visitors driving themselves.

Aside from the riverine forest which lines its edges, the vast majority of the interior of this peninsula is covered in forests of mopane – including many stretches of very mature and beautiful forests.
