Is the Wilderness Jacana for Me?

Jacana Camp is a remote island safari lodge set within the 60,000-hectare Jao Reserve. Experience this intimate, small-scale property where five canvas tents rest on elevated wooden decks, providing panoramic views of the Jao Flats. Each tent features an open-air bathroom with an outdoor shower and a deep-soaking bathtub, allowing you to immerse yourself in the surrounding Okavango Delta.

The heart of the camp is a two-storey timber-and-thatch structure situated between ancient sycamore fig trees and wild date palms. You can find relaxation in the ground-floor lounge and bar or enjoy the breeze in the upper-level dining area. Between activities, a partially shaded plunge pool and a sun-drenched deck offer ideal areas for relaxation, while a floating fire deck provides a space for storytelling under the stars.

A private island safari in the Jao Reserve focuses on the Delta’s water-based rhythms, featuring year-round mokoro excursions and boating trips. Depending on the season, you may also join guided walking safaris or game drives to track lions and leopards on the drier floodplains. Jacana Camp is an ideal choice for birdwatchers and couples seeking a secluded, authentic water-based safari in Botswana.
