Jao Camp is carefully placed in the Jao Reserve, a private reserve bordering on the Moremi Game Reserve, to the west of Mombo, on a densely wooded, oval-shaped island. Jao can offer both land and water activities, depending on the fluctuating levels of the Okavango's floodwaters. This area comprises a superb variety of habitat, ranging from permanent waterways and lagoons on the one extreme to thick Kalahari soils on the other.
