The Jack’s Camp Experience
One of the most iconic names in the Makgadikgadi, Jack’s Camp brings vintage safari glamour to the salt pans. Many travelers choose to pair their stay here with a more stripped-back, immersive option nearby.

Don’t expect to find abundant big game, the experience is focused on the salt pans, one of the largest in the world. It’s an other-worldly, captivating landscape. Jack’s Camp is the place for stargazing, sleeps outs and quad biking. The walk with local Bushman guides is an enriching, authentic cultural experience.
