This exclusive lodge offers the very best safari accommodation and luxury safari holidays in Botswana, It is ideal for an African safari honeymoon.

Game Viewing
The activities at Jao include mokoro (dug out canoe) excursions, boat safaris, day and night game drives and guided walks. At certain times of the year, when the area has a large flood, guests take a boat from the camp to a large island where vehicles would be waiting and the game drives start. Expect to see a wide range of game including predators but no rhino.

Guests are accommodated in nine large and spacious rooms. Each of the unique and beautiful twin-bedded canvas and thatched rooms. The rooms are built under a canopy of shady trees, with en-suite bathroom, hot and cold running water, a large bath and separate shower. There is an additional outside shower for more adventurous guests who want to enjoy a shower a bit closer to nature! There is an outdoor “sala” for guests to enjoy midday siestas with a view and a breeze. The rooms are raised off the ground and offer wonderful views of the surrounding flood plains. There is a sleep out platform for anyone feeling adventurous, the ‘Star Bed’ is located about 20 minutes from the camp and is available by pre booking.
