Jacana Camp has only 5 meru-style tents accommodating a maximum of eight 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 surrounded by dense wild date palms. Downstairs, there is a coy pub and lounge with an area for an open fire under the stars.

The area in which the camp is located is scenic with generous shade provided by leadwood and russet bushwillow trees. Open floodplains and woodlands spread out in front of camp.

The first afternoon activity concentrates on exposure to different plains game, such as roan and sable antelope and their predators, the lion and leopard – with the endangered wild dog as an incredible bonus. Return to your luxury camp with drinks around the fire and dinner.

Activities over these three days will include game drives in the private northern sector of the Linyanti Concession. You’ll explore a range of habitats, from riverbanks to scrub and forest, which reveal a myriad of game en route to slake their thirst from the river. The seldom seen sitatunga can also be spotted in the waterways. After your morning game drive on day 9, you’ll stop at a private deck for lunch, then have time for a siesta in hammocks. In the afternoon you’ll canoe on the Linyanti River for an amazing close-up view of the elephant herds - all before taking an evening drive back to camp.

Enjoy a boat cruise on the Chobe River, in a catamaran-style shaded boat. Leaving Botswana, you’ll enter Zambia by way of the Kazangula border, a point where the four countries of Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia meet, then continue to the Sussi Lodge.
