Cathy and David Kays and their families are the long-term leaseholders of Jao Reserve. The Kays are one of Maun's oldest families.
David's great grandfather first came to Ngamiland in 1887. In 1912 the Kays family settled in Tsau, at that time the headquarters of the Batawana tribe (Maun was not yet founded). When the Batawana tribe decided to establish a new village at Maun and move its headquarters there in the mid-twenties, the Kays family moved with them.
David's father, Ronnie, was instrumental in advising the Batawana Tribal Authorities on the formation of Moremi Game Reserve and assisted in the demarcation of the reserve's boundaries.
Like all families raised in and around the Okavango, wildlife was in their blood, and they spent most of their lives out in the bush. | Facilities
The main dining, lounge and pub area are under cool thatch beneath the tree canopy. Jao Camp also has a swimming pool. | Accommodation
Twin-bedded, canvas-walled rooms en suite.
The rooms are raised off the ground and offer wonderful views of the surrounding flood plains.
Each room has en suite facilities that include a bath, flush toilet, basins, as well as an outdoor shower. | Sleep out (optional)
  If you stay more than 3 nights at Jao, you can request a sleep out (prior arrangement) and Jao staff will set up a camp under the stars for you. You will be taken to your sleep out after the game drive for dinner and spend the night under a mosquito net. Simple toilet and showering facilities available. | Family
