Further Information
Jack's Camp is a
permanent, luxury camp in the Kalahari Desert on the edge of the Makgadikgadi
Pans, the largest saltpans in the world.
The opulent, roomy tents - each with open air, ensuite bathrooms - are furnished
with antiques and are set into a palm grove creating a peaceful oasis in this
stark environment. The main area of the camp has a super mess tent and a tea
tent with Persian carpet cushions for sitting and relaxing.
From here, there are endless vistas across the salt pans
and surrounding grasslands and you can explore these fascinating areas in 4x4
vehicles, on foot or by four wheel drive quad bike. After the rains (December
to April) there can be enormous herds of wildebeest, zebra and springbok in
the area along with the inevitable predators that follow in their wake. Walks
with a Bushman tracker and a visit to Chapman's Baobab - the historical baobab
tree used by Livingstone, Selous and other early exporers - are activities
also on offer.
