Highlights
Natural Selection - Jack’s Camp is one of Africa’s most iconic camps, an oasis of style and comfort in the middle of Botswana’s Kalahari Desert. A beautiful authentic, 1940’s style tented safari camp that has been completely rebuilt and will reopen in late 2020, refreshed and reinvigorated, yet still retaining the classic style we all know and love. Situated in the heart of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Jack’s Camp is truly like nowhere else on earth. Spectacular vistas, creative surprises, expert guiding, incredibly friendly habituated meerkats, unique desert wildlife, old-world safari styling, and superb cuisine all come together to create an experience that is completely different from any other. Activities are varied and combine wildlife with culture, history, archaeology, and geology.

Jack’s camp has 9 Tents in total – 2 Doubles, 7 Twins All rooms include the very same amenities, they all look the same and are all the same standard. Rooms are an enormous 271 square meters: 136 square meters indoors and 135 square meters outdoors. All tents include en-suite bathrooms with indoor & outdoor showers. The nine guest rooms will be almost double the size of the previous tents and whilst the iconic green canvas and muslin-draped walls will remain, each will feature new textiles from around the world, Natural History Museum cabinets curated by Ralph Bousfield himself and an overhead bed cooling system to ward off the desert heat. Outside, each veranda will have a private plunge pool as well as several velvet-clad chairs overlooking the glittering landscape.
