Jack's Camp
From $1,077 /person
An iconic 1940s campaign-style camp in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans
Stay at the 1940s campaign-style Jack’s Camp, where rooms are adorned with Persian and North African rugs, paraffin lamps, brass fittings, and mahogany furniture. Curated over decades, Jack’s Camp has one of the most wide-ranging ancient artefact collections in Botswana. All year round, guests can spot the fascinating wildlife that inhabits these mysterious pans, like the Kalahari lion, brown hyena, and oryx. When it's dark, the aardvark and bat-eared fox can be sought out on night drives. The thrills continue with Zu/’hoasi San nature walks and horseback rides for all levels. Guests can even sleep inside a tent that’s a designated Natural History Museum, but whatever the choice, a stay at Jack’s Camp benefits various Natural Selection conservation initiatives in Botswana.
