Jao is located on a secluded island in one of the most picturesque areas in the Delta.

Jao has nine luxurious tents, each individually handcrafted and with an open-plan design,
en-suites, vintage-style fittings and a sala for afternoon siestas.

A romantic Star Bed is a seasonal option for those wishing to have a romantic getaway.

An elaborate two-storey main area also includes many facilities such as a plunge pool, gym and boma for dining under the stars, complemented by an excellent wine cellar. The spa has a wide range of massage therapies, and friendly staff.

Committed to supporting the Sedie Clinic Direct Feeding Programme in Maun, which provides food to underprivileged children on a daily basis, makes Jao one of the most unique camps in Botswana.

Region

This stunning and unique wetland area is formed by the Okavango River flowing into the Kalahari Desert. It creates the distinctive oasis known as the Okavango Delta.

Comprising of thousands of tiny islands, some solely made of small salt planes too salty to support plants, around 70% of the islands were originally termite mounds, however they now serve as land for wildlife.

Being a rarity in that it is one of the only sources of water available for animals and wildlife in day light hours means that it attracts thousands of animals. This creates a particularly special opportunity for observing many different animals, birdlife and fish.

The Okavango Delta can be explored in some rather exciting ways - on foot, in a game drive vehicle or in a Mokoro to delve into life in the floodwaters. However you decide to experience this wondrous oasis, it really is sure to be the trip of a lifetime.
