One of Africa’s most iconic safari camps, Jack’s Camp was first established in the 1960s by explorer and crocodile catcher Jack Bousfield on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Today, operated by Natural Selection, the camp underwent a complete rebuild in 2021, paying homage to the enduring 1940s campaign safari style. The nine guest tents are each approximately 270 square metres in size, with iconic interiors embellished with rich textiles from around the world, Natural History Museum cabinets, overhead bed cooling systems and ensuite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers. Each private veranda has a plunge pool. The mess tent houses the renowned Natural History Museum, library, antique pool table and well-stocked bar. Jack’s Camp is a year-round destination with dramatically different seasonal experiences. Activities include guided game drives, Bushmen walks with Zu’/hoasi San trackers (one of Africa’s finest cultural experiences), habituated meerkat encounters, quad biking across the salt pans (dry season), horse riding and spectacular stargazing. The rates are fully inclusive of all meals, local beverages and activities. Conservation Fee: USD 60 pppn. All stays directly support Natural Selection’s conservation programmes in the Makgadikgadi.
