After a full rebuild, Jack’s Camp is back. Set in the heart of Botswana’s Kalahari Desert, Jack’s Camp is an oasis of comfort and style. This sparkling diamond in the Kalahari is a legend with a history stretching back to the 1940s. Surrounded by magnificent scenery and unique desert landscapes, the camp features spacious guest quarters in an unbeatable setting. It provides the ideal base to discover the scenic surrounds rich in wildlife. The interior design of the camp boasts rich textiles complementing the very stylish old-world glamour feel. This exclusive destination is one of just three in a vast private wildlife reserve and offers exclusivity and solitude. Lazy afternoons can be spent reading books in the comfortable sitting areas or in your private plunge pool overlooking the Makgadikgadi pans.
