Property Overview

Immerse yourself in authentic luxury and wilderness comfort

Embark on an enchanting journey to one of Africa’s most mesmerizing and surreal landscapes at Jack’s Camp. Located on the edge of the sprawling Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, this iconic camp exudes an atmosphere of 1940s vintage safari glamour. Completely rebuilt and reimagined, the camp offers an outrageously luxurious oasis amidst the striking, stark beauty of the Kalahari Desert.

Step into extraordinarily opulent, museum-style canvas tents. The interiors are a magnificent homage to classical exploration, featuring rich Persian rugs, antique campaign furniture, natural history cabinets, and sumptuous four-poster beds. The expansive en-suite bathrooms boast luxurious indoor and outdoor showers, allowing you to refresh while gazing out across the endless, shimmering salt flats.

Experience unparalleled desert adventures unique to this captivating region. Walk alongside habituated, incredibly charismatic meerkats, interact with traditional San Bushmen to learn ancient survival skills, and take thrilling quad bike rides across the vast, crusty expanse of the pans. During the green season, witness the spectacular migration of tens of thousands of zebras and wildebeests.

Dine in decadent style within the grand, sumptuous mess tent, which also houses a fascinating natural history museum and an antique billiards table. Enjoy elegant high teas and magnificent, multi-course dinners served on fine china, perfectly complementing the adventurous romance of this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind destination.
