Botswana

Jacana Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Densely wooded Jacana Island is part of the Jao Concession, located in the Moremi Game Reserve and centrally positioned on the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana.

Jacana Camp boasts all the amenities a safari adventurer would hope to find in an island paradise. Accommodations consist of five private Meru- style tents built on raised wooden decks overlooking the spectacular Okavango Delta. There are three twin bedded tents and one king size bedded tent. In addition, the camp has one family tent which accommodates two adults and two children. Each tent has an en- suite bathrooms which features an indoor and outdoor showers, basin, and flush toilet.

The camp is perfectly situated on a small island in the beautiful Jao Flats area of the Jao Concession on the Moremi Game Reserve. Much of the concession is under water for most of the year, except for many small islands sprinkled throughout the region. These wetlands are a prime bird-sighting territory from red lechwe to Pel’s fishing-owl, and the primary mode of transportation is by boat. In the summer months lechwe, tsessebe, and rarer sitangua while lion, and occasionally leopard, are also found here. The Okavango Delta’s floodwaters determine the frequency and concentration of wildlife, the most sighted being elephant and hippo, as they take advantage of the luscious lagoons and papyrus swamps.

There are plenty of activities available from the camp. When floodwaters are down, travelers may embark on game drives throughout the reserve in comfortable 4X4 vehicles. However, mokoro rides in traditional dug-out canoes steered by long poles and boat cruises can be enjoyed year-round due to the abundance of water channels in the region. Visitors will enjoy sighting leopard, lion, zebra, wildebeest, and buffalo both on drives and on walking safaris, which are available by advanced request. Fishing is offered seasonally on a catch-and-release basis.

The main dining area is ideally set on an elevated platform between two magnificent sycamore fig trees and surrounded by dense wild date palms. From this perch, guests have a spectacular view of the lagoon while they experience a sumptuous meal prepared and served by friendly staff. There is also a refreshing plunge pool for soaking away the dust and the noonday heat, as well as a relaxing lounge with an open firepit for swapping stories and enjoying a night under the stars. To ensure a break from the outside world, there is no Wi-Fi available.
