Light aircraft from Maun ~40 min flight time or from Kasane ~1h25 flight time to Jao Airstrip, then ~45 min by vehicle to camp; depending on water levels, the last approach may be by boat rather than vehicle. Private charters and seasonal heli access are available.
5 tents, all en-suite with indoor and outdoor showers. Guests who prize seclusion tend to request an end tent for the quietest outlook and widest channel sweep. Room-specific praise often calls out Tent 1 for a beautiful, quiet view.
Camp-style and generous: early proper breakfasts set-up, and after morning drive or mokoro a lunch buffet is served with fresh salads, savoury pies and dishes. In the evenings enjoy fireside buffet style dinners under southern stars with other guests. Private deck or bush set-ups are easy to arrange with notice.
A dry bag and microfiber cloth for cameras, sandals that can get wet, a warm layer for cool dawn outings on the water, polarized sunglasses for glare, soft-soled shoes for boardwalks, and a soft duffel for light-aircraft limits.
Ask for a first-light mokoro to look for Pel’s fishing-owl roosts, linger on the floating fire deck at dusk when the floodplain turns gold, and - if offered during your dates, add a short scenic helicopter flip for a bird’s-eye read of channels before your next drive.
Operations run on a hybrid solar system with thermodynamic hot water, and activities are low-impact by design. Stays help fund Wilderness’ Children in the Wilderness education programmes, support the local Tubu Joint Management Committee, and channel supplies via Pack for a Purpose, while guiding teams contribute to ongoing monitoring of key Delta species.
