Jack's Camp is located in the Kalahari Desert on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, the largest saltpans in the world. Jack's Camp is a classic desert safari camp that offers a unique safari experience, providing guests with an insight into the area’s geology, archaeology and anthropology on a range of activities.
The charm of classic safaris in Hemingway’s times lives on in these stylish and comfortable tents using paraffin lanterns and furniture handmade true to samples from the early 1900s, relinquishing anything that would destroy the uniqueness of this magical place and require electricity. The camp is spread out on an island of palm trees, with an open dining tent and Persian style ‘tea tent’ and library. There is a beautiful collection of local artefacts, presented in an informal yet educational manner.
Activities are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles custom-designed for the terrain and accompanied by knowledgeable guides. In the dry winter months, all-purpose ATV vehicles (a four-wheeled motorcycle/Quad bikes) are available, allowing guests to travel across the saltpans. Walks with a Bushman tracker and a visit to Chapman's Baobab - the historical baobab tree used by Livingstone, Selous and other early explorers - are activities also on offer. A special highlight of a visit to Jack’s Camp are the local meerkats, as a group has been habituated and is accustomed to human presence allowing incredible photographic opportunities as well as the privilege to see these lively characters up close.
The Makgadikgadi area changes greatly with the seasons and consequently the focus of activities varies throughout the year. The summer rains create a warm shallow layer of water that entices waterfowl and flamingos. After the rains (December to April), there can be enormous herds of wildebeest, zebra and springbok - with the accompanying predators - on the open grasslands.
Please note: All activities are subject to seasonal availability and weather conditions during the month of travel. Pans sleep outs and quad bike activities do not operate in the wet season and may also be halted after unexpected rains, when wet conditions prevent access to the pans. Some activities will need to be pre-booked before travel. Quad bike trips run with TWO guests per quad bike. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Airstrip Transfer Time: 20 minutes
