The Jao Collection is the independent home of the camps in the Okavango Delta’s Jao Reserve (NG25), an exclusive private concession held by the Kays family. Jao, Kwetsani, Jacana, Tubu Tree, Little Tubu and Pelo span water and dry-land Delta, from architectural flagship luxury to intimate back-to-nature camps.

The story.

The Jao Reserve is a private concession on the western edge of the Okavango Delta. Seasonal floodwaters move through it each year, so the safari shifts with the water: mokoro and boat when the flood is up, game drives on the islands when it recedes.

Three of the reserve's camps are sold through us. Jao Camp is the flagship, Tubu Tree and Jacana the smaller tree-line and water camps, each holding a handful of tents.

Why Jao Collection

One private concession, no crowds, and a safari that changes with the flood.

Rates are identical to booking direct. A safari specialist who knows the reserve builds the full journey, flights and transfers included, and replies in as little as 15 minutes during working hours.
