Located in Makgadikgadi Pans, this is a permanent camp that provides you with a unique experience in the Makgadikgadi Pans. This salt pan situated in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana is one of the largest salt flats in the world. This breathtakingly beautiful location is both savage and glorious. Jack’s Camp is a classic desert safari camp accommodating 20 guests in 10 enormous walk-in tents, each with an en suite shower, private plunge pool, and bed cooling system and are luxuriously appointed, but maintain the style and character of the Makgadikgadi. Facilities include a mess tent for dining, a tea tent with Persian carpet cushions for socialising, a swimming pool pavilion, spa treatments and a gift shop tent. The camp's roots date back to the 1960s when namesake Jack Bousfield, a true character in his own right, stumbled upon a place so incredible that it captivated him for the remainder of his life. He never left the site and stayed until his death in the early 1990s. Following this, Jack’s son, Ralph, started Jack’s Camp and recreated the venue in the traditional safari style of the 1940s era. Activities include interaction with a family of meerkats who are regular visitors, and viewing the desert wildlife such as the gemsbok, springbok and more. You’ll also have the chance to meet the indigenous San people who have survived in this seemingly inhospitable land for many centuries.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
