The Lodge

Jao Camp

One of the most luxurious camps in the Okavango Delta, Jao Camp occupies a private concession that is undeniably picturesque. It features five suites and two villas that fuse rustic elements with contemporary design and include open-air showers for enjoying the wilderness setting. 

At the heart of Jao Camp is a two-story lounge and dining area, as well as two plunge pools, a small library and an outdoor boma for alfresco dining. Both land and water activities are available during stays and theres a raised hide nearby where you can sleep out under the stars. When youre not out on game drives and boat excursions, you can indulge in a massage at the spa, watch wildlife documentaries in the entertainment room or workout with a view at the gym. 

What we love about Jao Camp

   •     A secluded setting on a remote island in the northwest of the Okavango Delta

   •     Strikingly designed with a combination of natural and recycled materials

   •     A wide choice of camp facilities, including a spa, a gym and an entertainment room
