Jao Camp is one of Wilderness Safaris' premier lodges in the Okavango Delta, located to the south of the floodplains in the Jao Flats concession, to the northwest of the Delta.  The area is generally wet from May to October, although a good mix of activities is offered.

Jao Camp has nine spacious, beautiful tents, each individually handcrafted. These twin-bedded canvas and thatched rooms are situated beneath a canopy of shady trees and have en-suite facilities, as well as an outdoor shower for the more adventurous. Built on raised decks, each has a private sala for afternoon siestas and offers wonderful views of the spectacular surrounding floodplains of Botswana. In addition to the lounge and dining area, there are two plunge pools and an outdoor boma for dining under the stars, complemented by wines from an excellent wine cellar. Jao Camp also has a spa where a wide range of massage therapies are offered. [cont.]

Mokoro trips, boat trips, fishing, nature walks (which must be requested prior to travel), day and night game drives and birding are usually on offer all year round due to the abundance of wildlife in Botswana. There are two platform hides in the concession. During an unusually high flood season, game drives begin by boating out to nearby Hunda Island where the vehicles are waiting, and the drive begins from there.

Jao Camp is expensive and luxurious, but perhaps a little "soft" because of it - great for some R&R at the end of a safari adventure but not for those looking for value or a hardcore safari experience.
