Jack's Private Camp

Jack’s Private Camp is a stand-alone under-canvas villa, set apart from the main Jack’s Camp to ensure absolute privacy for guests. The central lounge and dining area is flanked by two expansive bedroom suites; each offering a private verandah with endless views across the Makgadikgadi Pans. The central area includes a lounge, dining, and library space, facing out onto an expansive deck with a private swimming pool. With a private guide and full staff complement on hand to curate each day, guests at Jack’s Private Camp can expect a truly bespoke discovery of the otherworldly Makgadikgadi Pans.

Accommodation & Facilities
One bedroom features a king-size bed, while the other has two extra-length king-size beds. Both bedrooms include an additional day bed. Each bedroom offers indulgent en-suite facilities, with a central chaise lounge, two indoor showers, and a private outdoor shower. And after a day of desert adventure? Settle in for a soak in the deep freestanding bath of shimmering brass. You’ll also find Jack’s Camp’s famous ‘cabinet of curiosities’ in your private abode; a mahogany cabinet filled with treasures of natural history drawn from the main museum hosted at Jack’s Camp.

Wildlife & Activities
The Makgadikgadi Pans are a relic of one of the world’s largest super-lakes that dried up thousands of years ago, where during the dry season clients can use 4×4 quad bikes to travel where conventional vehicles cannot. At this time of year guests can also visit the historical Seven Sisters Baobab Tree, made famous by the explorers Livingstone, Selous and Baines. Unique highlights of a stay here are walking with a family of habituated meerkats, as they go about their daily life, and walking with Bushmen to learn about their lives and how they survive in this harsh land. Year round day and night wildlife drives are a great way to observe desert dwelling wildlife, and during the wet season guests can see the annual zebra and wildebeest migration and seasonal waterfowl breeding sites. Excellent horse riding is also available at an additional charge, and must be pre-booked.
