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 of 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 are available all year round, as well as game drives when floodwaters recede.

You Should Know

  • Children aged 6 and over are welcome at Jacana, but they may not be able to participate in all activities (based on age).

The Detail

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

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

During the summer months, when water levels are lower, guests can enjoy game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers. These drives offer opportunities to see wildlife such as elephant, zebra, various antelope, and predators.

Unique to Botswana are mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions, which allow guests to glide along the waterways and discover smaller creatures of the bush, as well as various bird species, hippos, and crocodiles.

Boat trips in 12-seater and 7-seater vessels through the farther channels and waterways provide exceptional game viewing experiences.

Fishing is seasonal and operates on a catch-and-release basis only. The lodge provides spinner rods and a small selection of lures. Guests are encouraged to bring their own fly-fishing equipment, if needed.

Beautiful, lush palm islands surround the Jao Flats. Spectacular herds of red lechwe often attract predators such as lions and leopards. Other wildlife includes tsessebe, elephant, hippo, and crocodile. Sitatunga are occasionally spotted, and sightings of spotted-necked otters are common. The Jao Concession is also a birding haven, especially in the summer months. Bird species you might see include the Vulnerable wattled crane, slaty egret, rosy-throated longclaw, Pel’s fishing owl, and lesser jacana in the wetter areas. Other notable birds include the swamp nightjar and brown firefinch.

Jacana Camp is perfect for solo explorers, couples, and families seeking a Delta adventure.

Safari.com is excellent!
Working with Safari.com has been efficient and pleasant. I reached out with an email and received a fairly quick reply. Narine was an excellent agent who worked through my interests and needs. She was able to recommend places to stay and made trip packages easily and promptly. She also gave other extra information for my travel that was very helpful. She even quickly adjusted my travel package when I needed to make a change. I would highly recommend Safari and Narine. I look forward to my trip!

Excellent Pre-Trip Planning and Booking Assistance
We have not yet done the trip, but the planning process working with Safari.com has gone very smoothly. The agent who worked with me listened to my interests and requirements and proposed an itinerary that meets those needs perfectly. She was professional and responsive despite the 9-hour time difference between us. I would not hesitate to engage Safari.com again for future trips to South Africa.
