About Jacana Camp

  • Close Panel 

Jacana Camp is a small and cosy camp set in a wetland area densely populated by game. The camp consists of 5 meru-style tents which accommodate a maximum of just 8 guests at a time. Each tent is set on a wooden deck overlooking the floodplains and has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and shower. The dining area is set up high on a wooden deck surrounded by date palms. There is also a bar and lounge area around an open fire.

Activities offered at Jacana Camp include mokoro trips through the waterways, guided walking safaris and game drives in 4x4 vehicles. The camp is set in the most densely populated wetland area for Sitatunga Antelope and Red Lechwe. Hippos and crocodiles are regularly seen. In the dry season tsessebe, elephant, wildebeest and zebra occur here, and lions, cheetah and leopard are often seen on the floodplains. This is an area of prime importance for a host of wetland bird species.

Pricing guidelines for Botswana

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £700 to £1000 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Botswana combines well with Zambia and South Africa.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
