Jacana Camp

Jacana Camp is a true Okavango Delta water camp, located on a beautiful island and surrounded by the seasonally inundated floodplain and papyrus swamps.

Jacana Camp consists of five Meru-style tents built on raised wooden decks to facilitate the panoramic views of the delta.

Each tent has an enclosed en suite bathroom featuring a roofless shower which is lit by dappled sunlight or by the stars at night.

The main dining area is on an elevated platform between two magnificent sycamore fig trees and surrounded by dense wild date palms.  There is also a cosy bar and lounge with an area for an open fire under the stars; and a plunge pool for cooling off in the midday sun.

Activities at Jacana Camp include Moroko trips and walking safaris in the Okavango Delta all year round, as well as game drives during September and May when the floodwaters have receded.  There are also two platform hides within the Jao Concession.

Jacana Camp is set in one of the most densely populated wetland areas for sitatunga and red lechwe. All the big animals can be found regularly in the area, including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo.

Birdlife is abundant; enthusiasts can spot Pel’s Fishing-Owl as well as African and Lesser Jacanas and a host of other Okavango specials such as Slaty Egret, African Pygmy-Goose and Western Banded Snake-Eagle.
