Jack’s Camp, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Botswana

In a world of African safaris, Jack’s Camp is nothing short of an icon. For several decades it has been setting the standard for luxury in the Kalahari. The property’s enduring and much-loved vintage style offers unfathomable comfort for desert life.

Each guest tent is 270 square metres in size. Their iconic interiors are embellished with rich textiles from around the world, cabinets of curiosities, Persian rugs, hand-carved beds, and on the outside there is an expansive deck with private plunge pool and magnificent views of the shimmering Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.

In this ancient landscape earth and sky dissolve into one. At first sight, the lunar-like land appears devoid of life, but once you crack open the crust and the dust settles, you’ll find yourself in the thick of desert life.

Jack’s Camp is where unreal style, meets real desert adventure. Come see for yourself what makes this a truly legendary Kalahari safari camp.
