Jack's Camp

Jack's Camp Location and Access: One may charter to Jack’s Camp from Maun or any other camp in Botswana, or self-drive to Planet Baobab, from where a Jack’s Camp vehicle will collect you.

Accommodation: ten green spacious and stylish canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, all set in a palm grove.  With a 1940’s style, with Persian rugs and cotton sheets, Jack's has some of the most tasteful and luxurious tents in Botswana!

General Camp Details:The spectacle of Jack’s Camp upon arrival, is one of an oasis in a lunar landscape.  The whole camp has been designed with a high regard to the taste and luxury of the 1940’s.  Its uniqueness sets it apart.  There is Natural History Museum, Library, antique pool table and well stocked drinks chest.  A swimming pool housed in a beautiful tent with deck and deck chairs and a lounge / dining area complete the setting.

Activities and experiences at Jack's Camp: A visit to the area is essential for anyone interested in evolution and the origins and explanation of the Okavango Delta and Botswana’s big picture.

During the Wet Season flocks of flamingos and other migratory birds arrive in the Pans, while herds of zebra and wildebeest are drawn by the lush grasses.  The migration spectacle is something to behold.  Naturally the predators are in attendance too!

Jack’s Camp guides are often graduate students who work at the camp doing research.  A small group of Zu/hoasi Bushmen will be part of your morning walks and game drives. During the dry months, venture into the Makgadikgadi on 4wd quad bikes to explore the archaeological sites, discovering fossils, and literally drive forever and see nothing!

Game drives, both day and night, focus on desert species like aardvark, gemsbok and springbok.  The brown hyena lives here too, and your chances of spotting it are excellent.  Get acquainted with the habituated meerkats.

The camp also offers a 5-day fly camp option to Kubu Island (weather permitting) with quad bikes for parties with at least four guests.
