Camp Description
Accommodation at Jacana Camp is in 5 smaller “Meru-style” tents, each raised on a wooden deck. Each tent is built on a wooden deck overlooking the floodplains and has an en-suite roofless bathroom with flush toilet and shower. The main dining area is on an elevated wooden deck between two magnificent Sycamore Figs, surrounded by dense Wild Date Palms with wonderful views over the Okavango. Downstairs, a pub and lounge with an open fire are situated under the stars, making this best for guests who want exclusivity. The camp is blocked off for groups of six or more with no surcharge.
Activities & Wildlife
Jacana Camp is a truly water-oriented camp and offers mokoro and walking safaris all year round. As the floodwaters recede toward the end of the year, day and night drives in open Land Rovers are possible, usually from October to March (water levels permitting). All the big game can be found in the area – Elephant, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo. Pels Fishing Owl is a favourite amongst birders, as well as greater and lesser Jacanas.
