overview

Set on an island and surrounded year round by water, Jacana Camp is a quintessential Okavango Delta 'water camp'. The surrounding wetlands are densely populated with swamp specialists like sitatunga and red lechwe antelopes and the area abounds with hippo, elephant, crocodile and other big game. It's also home to a rich variety of water birds including wattled cranes, Pel's fishing-owls, both species of jacanas as well as other seldom-seen species such as rails, crakes and moorhens.

Water-based activities such as fishing expeditions, boat trips and peaceful game viewing by mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) make the most of these beautiful, watery surroundings. Walking safaris are offered year round and, depending on water levels, game drives are available from about September to May as the floodwaters recede.

Incorporating many natural elements, a cleverly designed and multi-level central area includes a cosy bar and lounge near the camp’s open-air fireplace, a quiet library and reading area on a separate floor and a restaurant on the top floor with endless views of floodplains and waterways.

The camp's facilities include a plunge pool and a curio shop plus a gazebo with hammocks - ideal for a nap in between safari activities. There is a raised hide located about 40 minutes from camp which can be used by small groups for thrilling sleep outs.

"What makes a lovely change is walking everywhere on 'terra firma' instead of the usual wooden boardwalks. Also, don't be surprised to find an elephant chewing on plants in front of your room!"
