Jack's Camp
Bushman Cultural Experience
Set in a palm-dotted oasis in Botswana’s Makgadikgadi, Jack’s Camp is one of Africa’s most iconic safari experiences. This legendary camp blends 1940s explorer style with the surreal beauty of the Kalahari’s vast salt pans, creating a setting that feels timeless and extraordinary.
Founded in honour of safari pioneer Jack Bousfield, the camp celebrates the spirit of exploration. Nine canvas tents are richly styled with Persian rugs, mahogany campaign furniture and colourful textiles, evoking the golden age of safari while offering modern comfort. At the centre of camp, the famous Persian tea tent, pool pavilion, curio shop and Natural History Museum add to the sense of discovery, filled with artefacts and stories that reflect the history and natural wonders of the Makgadikgadi.
With exceptional guiding and desert experiences – from walking with habituated meerkats as they emerge at sunrise to quad biking across the salt pans in the dry season – Jack’s Camp offers a safari that is fascinating and unforgettable. Game drives reveal the surprising wildlife of this desert landscape, while time spent with the San bushmen provides insight into one of the oldest cultures on earth. Few places capture the romance, curiosity and adventure of safari quite like Jack’s Camp.
