Jack's Camp Botswana
The Legend of the Kalahari
Jack's Camp, located in the Kalahari Desert amid the world's biggest saltpans, provides a unique combination of adventure and education.
The camp was discovered by adventurer Jack Bousfield in the 1960s and is currently run by his son, Ralph. The camp follows a typical East African safari design, with big tents decked with Persian rugs and contemporary conveniences.
Activities involve watching zebra migrate seasonally and travelling via quad bikes through the massive Makgadikgadi salt pans.
The camp's focus extends beyond animals to history and culture, seen in the camp. Hyenas and meerkats occasionally roam the area, adding to the charm of this lonely sanctuary in the middle of Africa's desert.
