Surrounded by the Kalahari Desert lies the Makgadikgadi Pans, a remnant of the ancient Lake Makgadikgadi that dried up millions of years ago, and sitting in this stark, harsh environment is Jack’s Camp, a legendary, sophisticated 1940’s safari style camp. Jack Bousfield first lay his eyes on this special place during an expedition in the 60’s. The current day Jack’s Camp, named after him, sits on the site that captured his imagination at the time when he set up camp here for the first time. Nowadays the multiple award-winning Jack’s Camp comprises of 10 stylishly appointed en-suite tented rooms that sit in a striking location on the edge of the Salt Pans. Persian rugs underfoot and cool cotton sheets form a striking contrast with the rugged wilderness. Enjoy an unique property full of history and discoveries – it even hosts a museum full of interesting artefacts. Elegant dining with creative menus emphasises fresh tastes and original cuisine while other features of the property are a library, pool pavilion and plunge pool. The activities on offer at Jack’s Camp include morning, afternoon and night-time seasonal game drives, walks with the bushmen, interaction with habituated meerkats and quad biking on the salt pans during the dry season. Combine a stay here with the waterways of the Okavango Delta for the perfect Botswana experience.
