Jacana Camp is a remote camp situated in the 150 000 acre private Jao Concession which forms part of the world-renowned Okavango Delta. This region encompasses a vegetation of permanent swamps and dry land which offers the perfect sanctuary for wildlife.

Highlights

  • Located on a beautiful island in the Jao Concession on the Moremi Game Reserve
  • A remotely secluded camp, Jacana offers five Meru-style tents including a family tent
  • Mokoro trips, boating trips and walking safaris all year round, as well as game drives when the floodwaters have receded

You should know

  • Children 6 years of age and over are welcome at Jacana but may not participate in all activities (age dependent)

The detail

Jacana Camp has five en-suite Meru-style Tents, including a family tent, built on raised wooden decks to offer panoramic views of the Okavango Delta. Four of the tents are twin bedded and one is king-size. Each tent features an en-suite bathroom with double vanities and both indoor and outdoor showers, mosquito netting, a sitting area, in-room safe, fan, and tea and coffee making facilities.

The camp facilities include a dining area, bar, lounge area, and a swimming pool.

Typically in the summer months when the water levels are lower, guests can enjoy game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers. Game drives afford guests the opportunity of seeing wildlife such as elephant, zebra, various antelope and predators.

Unique to Botswana is mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions that afford guests the opportunity of gliding along the waterways as they come across smaller wondrous creatures of the bush, along with a number of bird species and sightings of hippo and crocodiles.

Trips in 12-seater and 7-seater boats in the channels and waterways further away afford guests fantastic game viewing.

Fishing is seasonal and on a catch and release basis only. The lodge offers guests spinner rods and a small range of lures. Fly fishing equipment to be supplied by guest if required.

Beautiful lush palm islands dot the water. Around the Jao Flats, spectacular herds of red lechwe are followed by predators, namely lion and leopard. Other game includes tsessebe, elephant, hippo and crocodile. Sitatunga are seen occasionally, and sightings of spotted-necked otter are regular. Birding is exceptional in the Jao Concession, especially during the summer months. Bird species likely to be seen on safari include the Vulnerable wattled crane, slaty egret, rosy-throated longclaw, Pel’s fishing-owl, and lesser jacana seen in the wetter areas. Other exciting species include swamp nightjar and brown firefinch.

Jacana Camp is ideal for solo explorers, couples and families looking for a Delta adventure.

Price includes

  • Accommodation, all meals, twice daily scheduled safari activities, park fees, laundry and all local brand beverages.

Keith Chideme is fantastic!
If you’re looking for someone to help you plan the trip of a lifetime, look no further than Keith Chideme. Keith has been nothing short of extraordinary in helping me create a month-long dream trip to South Africa for myself and 11 family members. His patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process have been remarkable. Keith went above and beyond, engaging in countless conversations to make sure every detail of our six-destination itinerary was just right. He worked tirelessly to balance my budget with my desire for an unforgettable experience, finding deals and creative solutions that I would never have managed on my own. His dedication and expertise gave me complete confidence that this trip will be everything I’ve dreamed of and more. One of my favorite aspects of working with Keith was the personal touch he brought to every interaction. Whether through voice messages, phone calls, or texts, he was always patient, thorough, and thoughtful in explaining every aspect of the itinerary. I never once felt rushed or overlooked—he truly cared about making this trip perfect for us. I can’t imagine planning this trip without Keith. Knowing he has my back has been such a comfort, and I feel completely at ease knowing we are in such capable hands. My entire family is incredibly excited about this incredible adventure, and I know I’ll be contacting Keith for all my future travel plans. He is an absolute gem and a true professional. Thank you, Keith, for everything!

Lindi Weeks - Safari.com. A Pleasure to Work With.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lindi Weeks of Safari.com to plan our dream safari, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly patient, answering every question I had and addressing all my concerns. Her knowledge of safari destinations, wildlife, and logistics is truly impressive – it’s clear she’s a seasoned expert in the field! Beyond being well-informed, Lindi is an all-around wonderful person to work with. She was understanding of our budget and needs, and she crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, relaxation, and unique wildlife encounters. At every step, I felt like I was in great hands, knowing Lindi had thought of every detail to make our trip as memorable as possible. If you're considering a safari adventure and want someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about making your experience unforgettable, I highly recommend Lindi

This is the second time this year we have used Shann Shaw at Safari.com. She is outstanding in her role and is always so flexible and helpful. She literally goes beyond expectations and nothing is ever to much for her and there is never any frustrations when plans have to be re-started if flights arriving later than expected. She also comes up with wonderful ideas for trips and not just limited to Safari's but for hotels in South Africa as well. i don't normally write reviews but Shann deserves every accolade that comes her way. thank you so much - Bryan & Jo

Our customer service rep was prompt and polite in responding to our query. She automatically included transportation to and from the safari lodge, which saved us so much time and effort and worry! Other safari companies did not provide this service. From a few questions asked she chose 3 fantastic options for us, exactly what we were looking for. She was also very patient in answering our questions about each lodge and was knowledgeable in her responses. I would highly recommend this company and am excited to go on the safari that she helped us choose!
