Wilderness Jacana
Wilderness Jacana – Mokoro Excursions *
Glide seamlessly along the waterways of Wilderness Jacana in a mokoro (a traditional dug-out canoe) and spot some of the fascinating creatures of the Delta – maybe even hippo and crocodile – as well as the wealth of waterbirds of the region.
* Water levels permitting.
Wilderness Jacana – Boating *
Boating through the waterways to the east of camp allow for good game viewing along the channels.
* Water levels permitting.
Wilderness Jacana – Fishing *
Seasonal fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment (spinner rods and a small range of lures) is offered on a catch and release basis.
* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.
Wilderness Jacana – Game Drives
Land-based game drives are offered when the inundation levels are lower, typically in the summer months. These drives can reveal the likes of elephant, zebra and other plains game, as well as the potential sightings of predators of the area such as lions, hyaenas, and African wild dogs.
Wilderness Jacana – Birding
Birding is excellent here with plenty of 'Okavango specials’ including the Pel’s fishing-owl and Endangered wattled crane.
Wilderness Jacana – Guided Nature Walks *
Get your feet on the ground and enjoy a walk through the wilds of the Jao Reserve.
* Seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide, therefore pre-booking is essential.
