Jumbo Junction, along with its new prized addition Bontsintsi Horse Safaris, offers an unforgetaable safari experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Positioned just 30km from the small town of Seronga on a peninsula bordering the Okavango Delta, the camp provides breathtaking views of several beautiful delta islands. With year-round activities to indulge in, Jumbo Junction is a rare place where rural communities coexist harmoniously with wildlife. Witnessing cattle roam freely alongside majestic wild game is a remarkable daily occurrence at Jumbo Junction.
Jumbo Junction provides easy access to a 100 000 hectare, unfenced concession just waiting to be explored. The concession, NG12, has a diverse range of wildlife and its remote location ensures that your game drive vehicle will probably be the only one at game sightings that you experience, a privilege not often found at other locations in the Delta.
Our two chalets have double beds, a shower and toilet en-suite and a private verandah overlooking the water channel. Guests making use of this accommodation will be fully catered for in our tented camp.
Twin beds, an en-suite basin and toilet with an outside shower. Tents have 220V power points and lighting. Pre-dinner drink around the fire with other guests before enjoying a freshly prepared, three course meal.

Enjoy sightings of the varied wildlife the concession has to offer from the comfort of the open 4×4 off road game drive vehicle.
Stop along the way, with your experienced guide on a morning game drive, sip on a mug of “Game Ranger” coffee with a breakfast sandwich or toast the spectacular sunset with a gin and tonic and bar snacks.
A mokoro activity is an iconic Okavango Delta activity, you will be guided by your specialist guide poler into shallow waters where a boat cannot reach.
Glide silently through the reeds and water lily “fields” and observe the wonderful aquatic flora and fauna, the pods of hippos wallowing in the channels and other game along the water’s edge.
Boating through the water channels will provide access to the concession for game drives during the wet season or just enjoy a leisurely boat trip down the water channels.
Observe the spectacular aquatic birdlife, especially during the months of August and September. Sip on a sundowner while you drift down the channel whilst enjoying the scenery and game sightings.
This is a unique way to discover the bush. Our experienced, armed guide will take you on a leisurely walk where time is spent observing the smaller details in the bush that one would normally miss on a game drive.
Bush walks are dependant on the weather and the terrain at the time.
Nestled in the northern expanse of the Okavango Delta, Jumbo Junction holds a distinct position where two prominent elephant corridors intersect. This convergence of majestic elephants at the junction inspired the fitting name of #JumboJunction. While the vicinity surrounding Jumbo Junction presents extraordinary wildlife viewing opportunities within the Okavango Delta. It also offers a unique chance to visit the dedicated conservation teams on the ground, allowing firsthand experiences of how NGO and wildlife management projects effectively facilitate the harmonious coexistence of rural communities and wildlife.
Ecoexist, an NGO that is involved in elephant research, collared 50+ elephants and collected data for 2 years establishing these corridors. They then managed to get buy in from the Tawana Land Board to not issue any land grants or leases within a certain distance to these corridors.
The idea is to minimise elephant/human conflict.SEE: http://www.ecoexistproject.org
CLAWS, have their research centre stationed near Jumbo Junction and specialises in protecting both predators and livestock, reducing human-wildlife conflict. Guests have the rare opportunity to visit the research station and engage with the conservation professionals who monitor and protect lions and their prides, by means of a satellite collar, a pioneering Herding Progamme with its fully automated Lion Alert System, with its defined purpose in protecting both predators and livestock SEE: http://www.clawsconservancy.org
A visit to the local village affords you the rare opportunity to experience the cultural richness of the communities living in the Okavango Delta.
Experience daily life, from baking, tool making, fishing, the school and farming.
Don't miss out on the incredible opportunity of our scenic/photography flights, available at an extra cost. Moments after departing you’ll enjoy the breath-taking views seen only from a helicopter. Experience the crystal-clear water channels meandering their way through lagoons, while journeying deep into the lush green flood plains to explore the abundant wildlife of the Okavango Delta region. We take the doors off for an even better photographic experience while flying over some of the most remote, uninhabited, and wild areas of the Okavango Delta. Scenic flights are conducted any time of day, with keen photographers usually preferring the early morning or late afternoon, while some guests prefer flying during the siesta period in order not to miss other camp activities. We have a designated landing area on the outside, northern edge of the camp, and we offer scenic chopper flights with Helicopter Horizons. Our guides have been briefed on the safety protocols of approaching the helicopter.
