While on a trapping expedition in the Makgadikgadi Pans during the 60's, Jack stumbled upon a site that captured his imagination and led him to establish the first safari camp in this area.

The choice of such striking locale owed much to his original taste for the savage beauty of a forgotten Africa.

This is Jack's Camp...

Unparalleled luxury has been introduced into these sometimes harsh surrounds with a wonderful camp that includes

eight green canvas tents fashioned in a classical 1940's style... authentic,
spacious and exceptionally comfortable
en suite bucket showers
persian rugs underfoot and cool cotton sheets form a striking contrast with the rugged wilderness viewed from the comfort of one's own veranda
