Jaci’s Lodges founder and owner Jan van Heteren was profoundly inspired by the Okavango Delta’s characteristically intimate, secluded, luxury camps that seem to grow organically from the earth.

These lodges are often built to sit high on stilts and with a focus on ecological construction, they blend seamlessly into their environment. As a result, Jaci’s Tree Lodge is the realisation of Jan’s dream – an elevated lodge that appears to float above the ground…

Guests are luxuriously accommodated in custom treehouse-style suites, boasting magnificent views into the surrounding riverine forest, as well as glimpses across the famous Marico River.

The Treehouse Suites blend effortlessly into the overarching canopy of lush foliage, making for fantastic birdwatching in a natural environment.

Upon arrival, guests are warmly welcomed at Jaci’s Tree Lodge Main Lodge, which provides a cool retreat from the heat of African summer days and a cozy fireside sanctuary during chilly winter months.

Each of the eight double-occupancy treehouse-style suites feature an outdoor shower, indoor bath and private viewing decks.

The suites are decorated with Jaci’s trademark African vibrancy, complemented by modern elements and a focus on privacy. The unique custom-built stilted structures are connected by lantern-lined, elevated walkways.

The suites all have a large indoor bath, private outdoor shower and viewing deck, air-conditioner and ceiling fan as well as eco-friendly Afriearth amenities.

This lodge does not accept young children and is perfectly suited for couples or a group of friends travelling together.

The lodge offers an array of activities which include BIG 5 safaris, photographic safaris, wedding safaris, conservation safaris, safari walks, bird watching, bush boules, river path walks as well as spa treatments.

Guests also have access to a Terrapin hide where they can relax and enjoy sightings of animals coming to the waterhole for a drink!
