The stay

Settle into Jack's Camp / Jack's Private Camp

Jack's Camp is an iconic African luxury safari camp founded in the 1960s by adventurer Jack Bousfield and now styled in nostalgic 1940s explorer glamour. Its nine large green canvas tents feature Persian rugs, brass fittings, hand-carved furniture, private plunge pools and museum-quality artifacts, set on a private million-acre concession in the Makgadikgadi salt pans. The tagline 'Real Adventure in Unreal Style' captures its blend of sophistication and genuine desert exploration, including a curated Natural History Museum and Persian tea tent.
