Jack's Camp

Positive impact

Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana

Jack's Camp

One of just three camps in a one million-acre private wildlife reserve

  • Camp

Bedouin-style tented safari camp in the middle of Botswana's Kgalagadi

Perhaps the most unique camp in Botswana. Inspiringly enigmatic, the camp is named after the original founder and is still run by his family.

A tented camp on the pans, Jack’s is chock full of original antique furniture and fittings making for a stay that is both unique and authentic, harking back to the safari expeditions of yesteryear.

As this is a harsh, arid landscape game is sparse and the activities therefore focus on exploration of the landscape, archaeology and the very special experience of interacting with the San people. Some of the drives and walks are with San trackers, allowing for an amazing insight into their skills and traditions. Weather dependent, tremendously fun quad bike expeditions across the pans are also possible.
