Jack’s Camp recreates the atmosphere of a 1940s East African safari expedition on the edge of the vast Makgadikgadi salt pans, one of the most distinctive and long-celebrated camps in southern Africa, run by Uncharted Africa since the 1990s.
Grand safari tents furnished with genuine antiques and Persian rugs, each with an en-suite bathroom, evoking a deliberately vintage expedition style.
A formal, old-safari-style dining programme often taken in an antique-filled mess tent, with a strong emphasis on the camp’s distinctive character.
Quad-biking and walking excursions onto the salt pans themselves, habituated meerkat encounters, and cultural visits with San Bushmen trackers.
The Makgadikgadi Pans support one of Africa’s most unusual desert ecosystems, including a well-habituated meerkat colony and, seasonally, one of the continent’s largest zebra migrations.
The salt pans’ stark, reflective white surface produces some of the most surreal landscape photography in Africa, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
Uncharted Africa’s decades-long presence has funded ongoing research into the pans’ unique ecology and supports San Bushmen community partnerships in the area.
