Jack's Camp

A luxury tented camp in traditional East African 1940s style. At Jack's Camp, guests sleep in stylish green tents lavishly furnished with African fabrics, hardwood floors, Persian rugs, and unique artefacts. (Think "Green Hills of Africa".) In the main tent, a gorgeous canvas pavilion, meals are served at a communal table, a wonderful spot at the end of the day to compare notes about the day's adventures.

And the adventures are great. Head out into the Makgadikgadi on a 4-wheel-drive quad bikes and view remote archaeological sites. Your guide may be a graduate student, or expert in ancient rock art, along with Zu/'hoasi Bushmen. Or come in the wet season, when herds of zebra and wildebeest come to feast on the fresh grasses.

At the end of the day, return to the comfort of your camp, where you can sip a cup of tea in your lavish suite, gaze out at the remote wilderness, and listen to absolute... silence.
