Jacana Camp is situated about twenty five kilometers west of Mombo, outside the Moremi Game reserve on the Jao flats - a reserve of 60,000 hectares. It is a true water camp and offers mokoro and walking safaris all year round. As the floodwaters recede, game driving and night drives in open 4x4 land rovers are available from October to March.

Jacana Camp has five small Meru-style tents accommodating a maximum of ten guests. Each tent is on a wooden deck overlooking the floodplains and has an en suite bathroom with flush toilet and shower. The main dining area is on the top floor of an elevated wooden deck between two magnificent sycamore figs and is surrounded by dense wild date palms. Downstairs, there is a cozy bar and lounge with an area for an open fire under the stars.

The camp is set in one of the most densely populated wetland areas for sitatunga and red lechwe. Hippos and crocodiles are regularly sighted. In the dry season on the floodplains wildebeest and zebra occur and in the woodlands to the west, elephant and buffalo. Lions, cheetah, leopard and wild dog are occasionally sighted on the floodplains, which are also a prime area for wetland bird species including wattled cranes, pels fishing owls as well as greater and lesser jacanas.
