Jao Safari Camp
Jao Camp is situated in a private reserve on a remote large island, to the west of the Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Across the waterway in front of Jao, guests have access to open flood plains and savannah for a wonderful Okavango experience.

Guests are accommodated in nine large and spacious rooms. Each of the unique and beautiful twin-bedded canvas and thatched rooms has been individually handcrafted under the direction of renowned architects Sylvio Rech and Leslie Carstens. The rooms at Jao are built under a canopy of shady trees, with en-suite bathroom, hot and cold running water, a large bath and double vanity. There is an additional outside shower under the stars for those more adventurous guests who want to shower closer to nature. There is an outdoor "sala" for guests to enjoy midday siestas with a view and a breeze.
The rooms are raised off the ground and offer wonderful views of the surrounding flood plains.

A raised walkway connects the rooms to the dining room and lounge area. There is a plunge pool at Jao and an outdoor 'boma' for dining under the stars, as well as an excellent wine cellar. Jao also offers a Salon with a fulltime therapist, offering a wide range of massage treatments. The activities at Jao include mokoro (dug out canoe) excursions, boats, fishing, day and night game drives and guided walks. If the area has a large flood, we usually have to boat to a large island, called Hunda Island, where vehicles would be waiting and the game drives start.

The area is extremely seasonal and the annual flood transforms the habitat from dry green open plains in summer to shallow flood plains in the winter. Access to this area is only by aircraft.

Have you ever slept under the stars ?

If you stay more than 3 nights at Jao you can request a camp out at the time of booking and we will set up a wonderful camp under the stars for you. You will be taken to your camp out after the game drive for dinner and than spend the night under a mosquito net. After a small breakfast you can go directly on a game drive or back to Jao Camp. Simple toilet and showering facilities are available at the camp out site.
