Jao Camp Okavango Delta

The game viewing is awesome at Jao  camp.

During the flood time in the Okavango  Delta from April to September,Lechwe which live mostly in the water are plentiful and right behind them Lions.

The Lions here are bigger and stronger as they have adapted to hunting partly in the  water.

The bird life is very good,especially in the summer months as the  migrants are in town.

30% Game Drives and 70% Water Activities (but very much dependant on flood levels & time of year. In the summer months activities tend more towards game drives, whereas in the winter months mainly water-based activities are offered.)

• Land game drives in 4 x 10 seater open 4×4 Land Rovers each accommodating a maximum of 7 guests, allowing all guests an outside seat.
• Full day game drives and picnics on Hunda Island – a 45min boat ride away from Jao Camp.
• Night drives (depending on flood levels.)
• Private activities available on request.
• Game walks.
• Water game viewing in 2 x 2 seater glass bottomed Mekoro (a traditional dug-out canoe), and 6 x 2 seater Mekoro
• 1 x 8 seater and 1 x 12 seater boats used in the waterways to the east of camp.
• Fishing on a catch and release basis (can book fly fishing with specialist fly fisher – Grant. This must be booked prior to travel). Basic rods and reels supplied by camp but fly fishing equipment to be supplied by guest
