About the Lodge

Jao Camp is one of Wilderness Safaris' most celebrated properties — a lodge where extraordinary design, exceptional game viewing, and the magical water landscape of the Okavango converge. Set in the Jao Reserve on a stunning island deep within the Delta, the camp's elevated wooden walkways connect eight luxury tented suites above the seasonal floodplain. The Jao Reserve is one of Botswana's most prolific wildlife areas, with large lion prides, buffalo herds, and the full diversity of Okavango species.
