Jao Camp

Each Jao Suite is elevated on decking and thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with its island setting in the Jao Reserve. The open-plan layout includes a main bedroom, comfortable lounge area, dressing space and en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, double vanities and a freestanding bath.

Full-height sliding doors extend to the steel ring beam, opening onto an expansive private deck with a private plunge pool overlooking the surrounding channel and floodplains. The elevated position offers sweeping Delta views and exceptional privacy, with wildlife often visible directly from the suite.

A built-in daybed within the lounge area converts into an additional bed, ideally suited for a child or young guest, allowing flexible triple accommodation when required.

Each suite also features a kitchenette and dining area, Climate Wizard air-cooling system, Calore fireplace, overhead fan, mosquito net, Wi-Fi and in-room safe, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons. Natural materials including wood, steel and glass reflect the architectural language of the main camp while maintaining a refined, contemporary aesthetic.

Generous in scale and designed for seamless indoor–outdoor living, the Jao Suite offers an immersive and sophisticated base from which to explore the diverse land and water-based experiences of the Jao Reserve.

The two Jao Villas represent the most exclusive accommodation category at Jao Camp, offering generous scale, privacy and a fully personalised safari experience within the heart of the Jao Reserve.

Each villa comprises two full en-suite suites, connected by a central shared lounge and dining area. Each suite features its own bedroom and private bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a freestanding bath. A built-in daybed within each suite area converts into an additional bed, ideally suited for a child or young guest, allowing flexibility for families of four to six guests.

The shared living space opens onto a private deck, where a plunge pool and private fire pit overlook the surrounding floodplains, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor gathering space.

Each villa operates with a dedicated private team, including a guide, chef and butler, allowing complete flexibility in daily safari schedules and dining arrangements. Meals may be enjoyed privately within the villa or in the main camp dining areas, offering guests the choice between exclusivity and shared camp ambience.

Guests also enjoy full access to Jao’s spa, gym, gallery and main camp facilities.

The Jao Villa offers a refined, flexible and immersive safari experience within one of the Okavango Delta’s most diverse wilderness settings.
