Jao Camp News, July 2008
Jao Camp Team
The reason why many people visit the Okavango Delta is that it is one of three wildlife areas to have the largest number of free-roaming animals in the world. The sightings of game and birds at Jao Camp have been outstanding, and have included many breeding herds of elephant, giraffe, dazzles of zebra and some memorable sightings of greater kudu. Hunda Island has also provided guests with many magical experiences. Back on Jao Island, the newcomers to the avian world (the francolin and crake chicks) have made for great viewing. We are not forgetting the very special leopard cub belonging to our resident female leopard. The little guy is now four months old and doing very well; with each passing day he gains confidence. On numerous occasions we have spotted his tracks next to his mother's as they silently roam the camp roads at night. *red lechwe, photo courtesy of Michael Poliza
