Jacana Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana

About This Property

Set approximately 25 kilometres west of Mombo on the scenic Jao Flats, just outside the Moremi Game Reserve, Jacana Camp offers an authentic Okavango Delta experience in one of Botswana’s most water-rich wilderness areas.

Surrounded by permanent waterways and papyrus-lined channels, the camp is renowned for its exceptional water-based safari activities. Guests can enjoy traditional mokoro excursions and guided walking safaris throughout the year, providing an intimate and immersive way to explore the Delta’s unique ecosystem.

As seasonal floodwaters recede between September and May, the area also becomes accessible for game drives and night drives in open 4x4 vehicles, offering additional opportunities to discover the region’s remarkable wildlife. Activity availability may vary according to annual water levels, ensuring each visit offers a unique perspective of the Delta.

The Jao Flats are particularly famous for supporting healthy populations of the elusive sitatunga and red lechwe, two iconic antelope species specially adapted to wetland environments. Wildlife concentrations fluctuate with seasonal flood patterns, creating a dynamic and ever-changing safari experience.

In addition to its rich wetland biodiversity, the area is home to an impressive variety of big game, including elephants, lions, leopards, and buffalo. Combined with outstanding bird life, spectacular scenery, and exceptional guiding, Jacana Camp provides a quintessential Okavango Delta safari where water and wilderness exist in perfect harmony.
