“The atmosphere, the setting, the style, Jack’s Camp is pure safari romance.”

Jack’s Camp is unforgettable. A place where the colonial safari past comes to life in the middle of Makgadikgadi, one of the most otherworldly landscapes of Botswana. Think of endless salt pans, dusty dunes, red evening skies, and safari tents that look like they came straight out of a movie. It’s all about style, character, and a connection with nature here. Jack’s Camp is not a lodge. It’s an experience.

Elegance in the wilderness
The spacious canvas tents are decorated with Persian carpets, vintage furniture, and wooden four-poster beds offering modern comfort. Every detail is perfect, from the copper bathtubs to the black-and-white tiled floors. Your private veranda offers a view of the vast landscape – where the desert comes alive.

Unexplored location by the pans
Jack’s Camp is located on a private concession in the heart of the Makgadikgadi salt pans. One of the driest, quietest, and most spectacular areas of Africa. The landscape is endless and empty, yet full of life. Think of lions, migrating zebras, and meerkats.

Activities that can’t be found elsewhere

• Quad expeditions over the salt pan at sunset
• Walking with the San, meet the bushmen of the Kalahari
• Game drives with a high chance of spotting lions, cheetahs, and brown hyenas
• Visiting meerkats, photogenic and surprisingly social
• Horseback riding on the open plains (for experienced riders)
• Stargazing under the clearest skies of Botswana
• Swimming pool with panoramic views

Wildlife in the desert
During the rainy season, thousands of zebras and wildebeests migrate to the pans; the largest migration in Southern Africa. Predators like lions and hyenas follow them. And year-round you can spot oryxes, springboks, porcupines, and jackals.

Camp with character
The main building is a spectacle in itself: canvas walls, curated art, a natural history exhibition, and an ambiance that feels like an old-fashioned expedition. You dine by candlelight, overlooking an endless plain. No lodge in Botswana feels as unique as Jack’s Camp.
