    Beautiful, luxury safari camp. Great food and well appointed "tents". Different seasons bring different experiences, so know what you want to do and plan your timing accordingly.

    The camp itself is absolutely stunning. Beautiful rooms with attention to detail. The staff were friendly and always happy to chat to us and assist with anything you need. Our guide, Rams, was super knowledgeable and has a genuine love for the reserve. 10/10 would recommend a stay here!

    We had the best time staying at Jao as part of our safari in May 2022. Beautiful facilities, super friendly team and the best guide, Paul! Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.

    Jao was amazing. Visited there in 2016 and it was 5 star all the way. Food, wine, service were all amazing. Our guide TJ was awesome. David set us up a dinner out in the delta and it was spectacular. Listening to lions roar a few hundred yards away while having a candle lite dinner was something my kids will never forget. Simply amazing.

    5 stars are not enough. Depending on the season part wetlands navigable by boat and driving game land a stunning area to see African nature. Virtually guaranteed 3 of the big 5 with bonus of water loving creatures. Staff and service is exceptional. This camp is about to undergo a rebuild and having been lucky enough to have a sneak preview is going to be more than amazing.

    Jao was a bit of a disappointment. We visited during November 2022 and were excited to experience the camp due to the unique architecture and reviews we had seen. The camp was definitely unique and interesting in terms of architecture and layout, but the rooms were not well kept and the safari vehicle was in very bad shape. Staff were friendly but we often had to make requests 3-4 times before achieving the desired result (e.g. requesting certain refreshments for the minifridge, obtaining bug spray and sunscreen, asking for the plunge pool to be skimmed). The food was good overall. We saw a variety of wildlife on game drives but, in contrast to other safari camps we've stayed at, our guide often told us we could not go off road which mean that we were viewing wildlife from a distance. For us, the cost of the camp was not in line with the overall quality of the experience. Nothing was "bad" but it wasn't the high end experience we have had at similarly priced safari camps in Botswana and South Africa.
