Highlights & What to Expect

The camp was fully refurbished in 2021 and is arguably the most luxurious of the camps in this part of the Kalahari.
At Jack's Camp, you will enjoy true exclusivity as it is one of only three camps in a private wildlife reserve of over 1,000,000 hectares.
Safari activities include Bushman walks, game drives, interacting with a local meerkat colony, and horse rides.
The camp boasts one of the largest collections of ancient regional artifacts.
Animals frequently spotted on safari in this wilderness include oryx, Kalahari lion, porcupine, bat-eared fox, porcupine, and honey badger.
One of the unique activities at Jack's is exploring the vast expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans on a quad bike.

Location & Setting

The camp is on the edge of the vast Makgadikgadi Pans in northern Botswana. It is accessible from Maun via a light charter flight to a private airstrip near town. It is set beneath towering palm trees with views across an almost lunar-like landscape that is, in a sense, almost otherworldly - luxury in a harsh and unforgiving land

Rooms

Accommodation on a safari at Jack's Camp is provided in nine stylish tents, each with an en suite bathroom. The tents are decorated with Persian carpets, each with indoor and outdoor showers and a private plunge pool. Cotton sheets adorn the beds.

Facilities

Central areas have a Beduan style and feature a spacious dining and lounge area and a swimming pool, arguably the most remote pool to visit on a safari in Botswana. San bushmen guide guests to the fringes of the pan, where the antics of a group of local meerkats are sure to provide an exciting wildlife experience. The pans attract flamingos during the wet season, a spectacle that will surely be remembered by all who visit the camp at this time of year.
