JACK'S CAMP
- Ten classically-styled tents
- Spectacular views from private verandas
- Quad biking over the Makgadikgadi to explore prehistoric sites
- Twice daily game drives and guided bush walks led by San Bushmen and expert guides
Ten roomy and stylish canvas tents, with ensuite bathrooms and indoor and outdoor showers (for those who want to feel the Kalahari breeze on their skin), have been fashioned in classical style and are set into a palm grove, creating an oasis of civilization in what can be the harshest of environments. Guests can enjoy spectacular vistas from the privacy of their own verandas. During the wet season the landscape transforms. Clouds of flamingo and other migratory birds descend from the skies to decorate the watery grasslands. Herds of zebra and wildebeest materialise, drawn by the lush grass, and for several months, the desert is teeming with game and predators. The guides at Jack's Camp are an erudite breed. Often graduate students, who combine research with guiding. They team up with a small group of San Bushmen to guide guests on morning walks and game drives. Guests can also enjoy a relic of one of the world’s largest super-lakes, the Makgadikgadi. This beautiful feature dried up thousands of years ago as a result of the continued shifting of the earth’s crust. Venturing far into the centre of the Makgadikgadi, on quad bikes, guests are able to explore remote archaeological sites, periodically discovering never before documented fossil beds of extinct giant zebra and hippo. A safari to Jack's Camp is also a complete desert experience focusing on species unique to the area such as aardvark, gemsbok and springbok. It is the only place where guests are virtually guaranteed to see the rare and elusive brown hyena and be able to walk through the Kalahari with a gang of habituated, but wild, meerkats!
