Jao Camp is situated in the Jao Reserve, an area of 60,000 hectares, in Botswana's Okavango Delta. It is built in a private reserve bordering on the Moremi Game Reserve, to the west of Mombo, on a densely wooded, oval shaped island. The camp is positioned to accommodate excellent views of the floodplains and savannah, which can be enjoyed from the privacy of your private balcony or from the communal boma.

Jao Camp is one of the most luxurious in Botswana. Accommodation is five twin-bedded tented rooms and two Villas comprising of identical bedrooms with two three quarter beds and each bed with its own en-suite facilities, under cool thatch, overlooking the hippo filled lagoon in front of the camp. Each of the suites has its own large bedroom area, lounge and a deluxe en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower. The private deck allows you to view the game and wildlife in total seclusion. The thatched main dining and lounge area is positioned for you to enjoy sundowners while you watch the sunset and a candlelit meal can be enjoyed in the open air within the boma. For those wanting a more private dining experience, meals can be enjoyed al fresco on your private deck. For a truly rejuvenating experience, Jao also has a salon where a wide range of massage therapies are offered.

This area comprises a superb variety of habitats, ranging from permanent waterways and lagoons on the one extreme to thick Kalahari sands on the other. Jao Camp offers both land and water activities, the focus of which is dependent on the fluctuating levels of the Okavango's floodwater. Day and night game drives are offered, giving you an opportunity to explore this magical reserve. Water levels permitting, boating and mokoro excursions in traditional dugout canoes offer a tranquil escape on the winding waterways of the delta. There are two platform hides in the Jao Concession offering secluded game viewing, up close but in safety, providing amazing photographic opportunities.
