Jack's Camp is situated in the heart of Botswana's Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and offers spectacular vistas, expert guiding, friendly habituated meerkats, unique desert wildlife, superb cuisine, and old-world safari styling.
Jack's Camp pays homage to the much-loved 1940s campaign style. Adorned with a classic East African safari feel, there are nine enormous guest rooms with indoor and outdoor showers, bed cooling systems, and private plunge pools. Each room has expansive views of the Kalahari. The main camp area houses a natural history museum, a library, and a vintage 1820s dining table. There's also the iconic, nomadic Persian tea tent as well as the only swimming pool pavilion in Africa. Jack's Private Camp, an exclusive two-bedroom canvas villa near Jack's Camp, caters to multi-generational travellers and families. With a private guide and full staff complement, guests can expect complete flexibility while exploring this extraordinary corner of Africa.
