Jacana Camp

Set on a picturesque island in the Okavango Delta, Jacana Camp is an enchanting safari destination in Botswana. It is surrounded by seasonal floodplains and papyrus swamps, which are best explored on mokoro trips, boating safaris and guided walks. Between September and May, game drives are also possible. 

Each of the camps Meru-style tents is luxuriously appointed, with magnificent views and starlit bathtubs among their highlights. Meals draw on locally sourced ingredients and traditional recipes for unique culinary experiences throughout your stay. Jacanas Children in the Wilderness initiative is helping to preserve this majestic area for future generations.
