JACANA CAMP DESCRIPTION
ACCOMMODATION
Situated about 25 kilometres west of Mombo, outside the Moremi Game Reserve on the Jao flats, Jacana Camp is a truly water-oriented camp and offers mokoro and walking safaris all year round.

From about September to May, as the floodwaters recede, game drives and night drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles are available - depending on water levels. The camp is set in one of the most densely populated wetland areas for Sitatunga and Red Lechwe - but game concentrations depend on water flow and volume and change from season to season.

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. Jacana Camp has five meru-style tents. Each tent is built on a wooden deck overlooking the floodplains and has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and shower.

The bathroom is enclosed, but roofless. The main dining area is on an elevated wooden deck between two magnificent sycamore fig trees and surrounded by dense wild date palms. Downstairs, there is a cosy pub and lounge, with an area to sit around an open fire under the stars.

OTHER CTIVITIES
• Water game viewing in 6 x 2 seater mekoro (a traditional dug-out canoe)
• Boating trips 1 x 12 seater boat in the waterways to the east of camp.
• Boating trips 1 x 12 seater boat in the waterways to the east of camp.
• Fishing - on a catch and release basis.
• Basic rods & reels supplied by camp. Fly fishing equipment to be supplied by guest if required.

GAME VIEWING
The game viewing depends on the time of year and the water levels in the Okavango. Lechwe, Hippo, Reedbuck, Crocodile, Sitagunga are often seen on water activities, Elephants are common when the fan palm fruit is ripe in late July onwards. Plains game is good on summer game drives and birding is excellent.
