Luxury Holidays At Jao Camp

Jao Camp is located on a large, remote island within a private reserve bordering Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Delta and offers a collection of land and water experiences, depending on the Okavango's flood levels, including catch-and-release fishing, wildlife and bird-watching in the camp's hide, excursions by mokoro (traditional canoe-style boat) and night safaris. The camp has nine spacious and individually handcrafted luxury guest tents built on decks, each with a private sala perfect for afternoon siestas and offering wonderful views of the surrounding floodplains. The camp has a main plunge pool, an open-air gym facing the plains, an entertainment room suitable for private dining, watching wildlife documentaries and enjoying lectures, and a spa offering a range of massages and therapies, including facials and manicures. In addition to dining in the lounge and dining area, guests can enjoy meals under the stars in the outdoor boma.

Why Jao Camp is so special...

Safari

This area comprises a superb variety of habitats, ranging from permanent waterways and lagoons on one extreme, to thick Kalahari soils on the other. The wildlife at Jao Camp depends largely on the water levels in the area at the time of your visit. The lagoons are home to hippos and crocodiles and the permanent waters attract large numbers of waterfowl. From October to March the waters subside and the enormous open plains become the highlight. This is when the game-viewing is at its best. Lions, cheetahs and leopards are plentiful, while Tsessebes, red lechwes, zebras and wildebeest dot the floodplains. During the winter months, the water levels at Jao Camp rise and the savannah areas become covered with water. The focus then switches to the water activities, with game-drives available on the larger islands.

Climate

The Okavango Delta is flooded from June through to October, making it one of the best times to visit. This is also the dry season, so the flooded plains become filled with thirsty wildlife. The ‘green’ season months of January to March shouldn’t be excluded as this is when a lot of the young are born, birdlife is in abundance and the camps and lodges are less crowded.

Getting There

Your Luxury Travel Specialist will advise the best travel arrangements according to your bespoke itinerary.

Safari

One of the very best wildlife spotting destinations in Botswana and beyond, the Okavango Delta houses large concentrations of animals on both a permanent and seasonal basis. A myriad of species can be spotted on game drives across the delta – including elephant, hippo, lechwe, wildebeest, giraffe, crocodile, lion, cheetah, leopard, black and white rhinoceros and much, much more. The delta is also home to a huge density of endangered African wild dog.

Safari
Mokoro Canoeing

Get closer to nature on a guided glide through the reeds of the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout canoe known as a mokoro. An expert ‘poler’ guides the vessels silently through the waterways and channels, allowing you to sit back, admire the scenery and spot the delta's wealth of birdlife. To experience a gloriously quiet and calm side to this inland oasis, head out as dawn breaks, navigating a network of water channels as they reflect the morning light. Pass by lions, leopards and Nile crocodiles stalking among the reeds.

Helicopter Flights

Take to the skies for an aerial perspective of the Okavango Delta, looking out for herds of elephant and lechwe splashing through the water below. From the air, the unique and raw beauty of the delta becomes even clearer, comprising a patchwork landscape of islands, plains and lagoons.
