JACK'S PRIVATE CAMP

The guides here are personally trained by Jack’s son, and custodian of Jack's Camp, Ralph Bousfield, ensuring their knowledge of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, and the wildlife that resides here, is utterly unparalleled. Join them on enthralling game drives and nature walks across the pans, keeping an eye out for kalahari lion, brown hyena and elephant, while possibly spotting the second largest migration of zebra and wildebeest on the continent (November to March). For a truly intimate experience, meet the local meerkats who are extremely tame and love to pose for photographs. For those seeking a more adventurous safari, the chance to go riding or quad biking over the pans (late April to early October, weather dependent) is an unforgettable opportunity. Those looking to become immersed in their surroundings will be captivated by a bush walk with the local Zu/’Hoasi bushmen, who are happy to share their astounding way of life with the camp's guests.

Return to the camp to refuel with a tailored dining experience, be it a family-fun pizza night or romantic wine pairing dinner overlooking the pans. Other options for your downtime include cooling dips in the swimming pool with its sweeping views of the Makgadikgadi wilderness, followed perhaps by a visit to the spa tent for an indulgent and warmly welcomed massage. Retire to the comfort of your palatial tent in the evening for a blissful night’s rest ahead of another day’s adventures.
