Jao Camp

Jao Camp is situated in a private reserve on a remote large island, to the west of the Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Across the waterway in front of the camp, guests have access to open flood plains and savannah for a wonderful Okavango experience.

Game Viewing
The activities at Jao include mokoro (dug out canoe) excursions, boats, day and night game drives and guided walks. If the area has a large flood, guests take a boat to a large island where vehicles would be waiting and the game drives start. Expect to see a wide range of game including predators but no rhino.

Rooms
Guests are accommodated in nine large and spacious rooms. Each of the unique and beautiful twin-bedded canvas and thatched rooms. The rooms are built under a canopy of shady trees, with en-suite bathroom, hot and cold running water, a large bath and double vanity. There is an additional outside shower under the stars for those more adventurous guests who want to shower closer to nature. There is an outdoor "sala" for guests to enjoy midday siestas with a view and a breeze. The rooms are raised off the ground and offer wonderful views of the surrounding flood plains.

Dining
A raised walkway connects the rooms to the dining room and lounge area. Evening meals can be taken on the deck or in the outdoor 'boma' for dining under the stars, & there is an excellent wine cellar to compliment the sumptuous cuisine. All meals and drinks (except premium imported wines & liquers) are included.

Activities
Aside from the game viewing, Jao also offers a Salon with a full time therapist, offering a wide range of massage treatments. You can also go fishing or bird watching.
