Jacana Camp - Safari Camp - Moremi Game reserve
Jacana Camp
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. Game drives are also on offer year round but night drives
are ony possible from about September to May as water levels restrict this activity
when the flood is in.
The camp is set in one of the most densely populated wetland areas for Sitatunga
and Red Lechwe. Wildlife concentrations depend on the water flow and volume and
thus change from season to season but all the big animals can be found in the area
including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo. Pels Fishing Owl is a favourite amongst
birders as well as greater and lesser Jacanas.
Jacana Camp has 5 meru-style tents. Each tent is on a wooden deck overlooking the
floodplains and has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and shower. The bathroom
is enclosed but roofless allowing for showers by starlight. The camp has a plunge
pool for cooling off from the midday sun. 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 bar and lounge with an area for an open
fire under the stars.
