Jao Camp is a nine-unit tented camp in the Okavango Delta, registered with Botswana Tourism as an operating game lodge and tented camp. Nine units is a small camp by any measure, which is the usual pattern on the delta’s private concessions: low guest numbers, guided activities rather than self-drive, and a mix of water and land depending on where the flood sits that year.

Facilities at Jao Camp
We list no facilities here. The official register records the licence class and address but not the facility detail, and no other verifiable source was available, so anything more would be guesswork.
Location and access
In the Okavango Delta, North West District. Access is by light aircraft from Maun followed by a road or water transfer. The national register records this establishment as operating but does not publish a physical address for it, so we place it at region level rather than guess at a plot or a concession.
Small properties, and what they trade
Maun has a long tail of small owner-run guesthouses that sit between the big riverside lodges and the campsites. They are usually quieter and often better value, and they almost never have a restaurant, a pool of any size, or an activity desk.
A good number of them appear only on the national tourism register, with no website and no booking channel. That is not a sign they are not real; it is a sign they serve people who ring ahead.
Who it suits
- Travellers on a fly-in Okavango itinerary
- Guests who want water activities as well as game drives
- Photographers and birders working the delta
- Small parties wanting a low-density camp
