Jacks CampJacks camp is located on the edge of the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. The camp is pitched on a low grassland knoll amongst an oasis of dignified desert palms and Kalahari acacia. After the rains, when the sea of grass is still high and feathery, the camp is all but invisible until seconds before your arrival! The camp’s hub is a romantic canvas pavilion of low spires and finials, with a fluttering valance beneath its eaves and could be the site for a medieval jousting tourney, were it not a deciduous green.

Meerkat and Brown Hyena.Walking with San bushmen.Unique setting in Africa.Jacks Camp – The DetailThree poles support the main chamber where everyone meets for meals at a long communal dining table. Ten green roomy and stylish canvas tents with ensuite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers (for those who want to feel the Kalahari breeze on their skin) have been fashioned in classical 1940’s style creating an oasis of civilization in what can be the harshest of stark environments. After tea, drive into the grasslands and the beautiful evening light. Stop to watch the sun set and listen to an explanation of how the Makgadikgadi pans, the remnants of the world’s largest ever superlake, were formed. Return to camp for a lavish dinner in the elegant mess tent, a designated national museum of Botswana. Uncharted Africa Safari vehicles are top-of- the- range Toyota Landcruisers, extremely comfortable and have multiple thoughtful details that make them perfect for game viewing such as roof top seats, leather bean bags for photography and ponchos to keep one warm on sunrise game drives. Jacks Camp – Our ViewJacks Camp……Jacks Camp……Jacks Camp. If only there were more places in Africa that had this kind of atmosphere, dedication and professionalism! To say Jacks is good is underselling it, this place is absolutely outstanding…. but the product is unique and it has to be sold correctly. Many would say this is a connoisseurs product but at the same time it is a product for a first timer…a first timer looking for something different. The guiding here is very well informed and, in our view, is some of the very best in Africa. Overall, the Makgadikgadi is not an explosive destination, it is subtle and sophisticated. What a place…and what a camp. CLICK HERE TO ENTER OUR MAIN SITE
