Jao Camp
| |
 |
| |
Shaded by a canopy of trees each individually handcrafted tent is completely outfitted to ensure a comfortable stay. |
Jao Camp is located on vast open floodplains in the heart of the Okavango Delta,
which provides some of the most stunning scenery Botswana has to offer. The camp
has nine elegant spacious tents, each individually handcrafted. These canvas and
thatched rooms are situated beneath a canopy of shady trees and have luxurious
en suite facilities as well as outdoor showers, and a private sala. In addition
to the lounge and dining area, there are two plunge pools and an outdoor boma for
dining under the stars. Jao Camp also has a treatment room where an expansive
range of massage therapies are offered, many using traditional African healing
herbs. Mokoros, boat trips, fishing, nature walks, day and night game drives and
birding are usually on offer all year round, dependant on the water levels.
There are two platform hides in the concession, for a more intimate view of the
wildlife. During an unusually high flood season, game drives begin by boating out
to a nearby Hunda Island where the vehicles are waiting, and the drive begins
from there. Huge herds of red lechwe can be seen, followed by their primary
predator - prides of lion. Other game includes elephant, leopard, zebra and many
others. Many bird species are resident, including the highly endangered Wattled
Crane.
