Jack's Camp

Jack's Camp is situated at the edge of the Makgadikgadi National Park among a cluster of desert palms. This destination offers a fascinating desert experience; there are several animal species unique to this area of Botswana including the brown hyena, springbok and gemsbok. There is also the fascinating geology, archaeology and anthropology of the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi areas.

Accommodations at Jack’s Camp are in ten spacious, classically styled tents with comfortable canopy beds, private bucket showers, and flush toilets. There is an impressive 1940s style mess tent where breakfast and dinner are served and a separate tea tent furnished with hundreds of cushions.

The Makgadikgadi Pans are the remains of one of the world's largest super-lakes which dried up several thousand years ago. In the dry season, guests at Jack’s Camp can use 4x4 quad bikes to explore areas unsuitable for conventional vehicles.  It is possible to visit the famous Seven Sisters Baobab Tree, documented by the explorers Livingstone, Baines, and Selous. In the wet season, guests can take wildlife drives to view the annual wildebeest and zebra migration. Night drives are also available in the area. Game walks with a knowledgeable bushman guide offer the opportunity to observe the desert wildlife and migratory waterfowl feeding and breeding sites.
