Is the Wilderness Jao for Me?
Set on the tranquil Jao Island, Wilderness Jao is surrounded by lush riverine forests and expansive floodplains teeming with wildlife. You are invited to unwind in five spacious suites or two ultra-luxe villas, each designed with en-suite facilities and both indoor and outdoor showers. From your private sala, you can savour the peaceful vistas and enjoy a quiet moment as the delta comes alive around you.
The main area on Jao Island brings together the perfect balance of relaxation and connection with nature. A pool, library, and outdoor boma create spaces to linger over traditional meals, storytelling, and evenings under the stars. Customised luxury guest suites and villas allow you to retreat in style.
For moments of indulgence, take advantage of the spa or the unique star bed sleep-out, offering a rare chance to sleep under the African sky. Wildlife enthusiasts can explore the surrounding islands, where sightings of elephants, hippos, and birdlife are frequent and memorable.
Wilderness Jao is suited to those seeking intimate, ultra-luxe safari experiences, whether couples, families, or first-time explorers eager for a personalised Okavango adventure.
Note: The star bed is a seasonal experience option when weather permits.
