Summary
With its remote island setting, Jao Camp is beautifully located in the heart of the Okavango Delta - accessible only by air. The isolated setting ensures a private and secluded expience in a true African wilderness. Sprawled across multiple levels and tastefully decorated with carvings and artworks from the local communities, the camp also offers excellent spa facilities in addition to its wildlife offerings. Open 4x4 vehicles cater to game viewing and allow access to a wide range where the abundant wildlife can be seen. With savannah and wetland close at hand, species include a variety of antelope and top predators - including lion, leopard and hyena.
