Jack’s Camp is an oasis of style and comfort, located deep in the Kalahari Desert on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, the largest saltpans in the world. Jack’s is furnished in traditional 1940’s East African safari style. Ten private, classically styled spacious tents are built on decks and set in a palm grove. Each tent has a beautiful en–suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers. Facilities include a central mess tent with a natural history museum and library, a tea tent for decadent afternoon teas and a swimming pool.

A safari at Jack’s Camp is the complete desert experience, focusing on desert adapted wildlife as well as the geology and archaeology of the Makgadikgadi. Activities include quad bike excursions onto the vast saltpans (dry season), the incredible sight of the last surviving zebra and wildebeest migration in Southern Africa (wet season) and the famous Chapman’s Baobab which is the largest tree in Africa, as well as walking with Bushman trackers, a highly interactive encounter with habituated meerkats and a rare opportunity to see one of Africa’s most elusive carnivores, the brown hyaena.
