Location:
 |
Jao Camp is situated in a private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve,
west of Mombo, on a densely wooded oval shaped island overlooking the vast flood plains.
Jao can offer both land and water activities, depending on the fluctuating levels of the
Okavango's floodwater. The area is noted for its predators, and is said to have to have Botswana's highest
concentration of Lion!
The area is comprised of a superb variety of habitats, which include permanent
waterways and lagoons, open flood plains and thick Kalahari soils. |

Game
Viewing / Activities:
 |
Jao offers an excellent all round Okavango experience, with game drives, mokoro
excursions, short guided walks and boating available. Being outside the Moremi Game
Reserve, night drives are permitted, which allows guests to view the nocturnally active
animals in the area.
|
|
A variety of habitats ensures diverse and interesting game viewing. Lion and
Leopard are plentiful and Tsessebe, Lechwe and Wildebeest dot the flood plains. The
wildlife at Jao depends largely on the water levels in the area.
The lagoons are home to Hippo and
Crocodile and the areas of permanent water attract large numbers of waterfowl.
