Jao Camp sits on its own private island deep within the Okavango Delta, one of Wilderness’s flagship properties, its elevated wooden walkways connecting suites across the island’s lush riverine forest.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Elevated suites connected by raised wooden walkways, each with a private plunge pool and views over the surrounding floodplain.
Food & Service
A strong, contemporary dining programme served with Delta views, consistent with Wilderness’s broader standards.
Activities
Mokoro and boating excursions through the permanent Delta channels, walking safaris, and game drives on the island’s drier ground.
Wildlife & Photography
The surrounding floodplain and channels support significant lechwe, buffalo and predator populations, with the Delta’s characteristic mix of water and land-based wildlife.
A Photographer's Note
The elevated walkways between suites offer an unusual vantage over the floodplain, useful for landscape shots without leaving the camp itself.
Conservation & Impact
Wilderness’s Jao Reserve operations fund Delta-wide anti-poaching and habitat protection across one of the largest private conservation concessions in the ecosystem.
