Jack's Camp sits in a palm grove on the edge of Ntwetwe Pan within a private reserve of about a million acres on the Makgadikgadi. Nine green canvas tents — seven twins and two doubles — are furnished in a deliberately period style, each with a plunge pool and deck facing the pans, alongside a natural history museum, library, pool pavilion and tea tent. Activities include game drives, walks with Zu/'hoasi Bushman guides, habituated meerkats, quad biking on the pan surface, horse riding, night drives and helicopter flights. The zebra and wildebeest migration reaches the area in the wet season, and flamingos arrive in some years in March and April. Operated by Natural Selection.
What sets it apart

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Makgadikgadi and Nxai pans, Botswana. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, see the property's own site.
