Tell anyone you stayed at Jack’s Camp and their eyes will widen and jaws drop. This romantic oasis sits in the heart of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, a relic of one of the world’s largest super lakes, and delivers a motherload of mid-century camping glamour. Adorned in rich color and texture, and dripping in historical relics, Jack’s is an anachronistic treasure—and a bucket-list camp for anyone who has ever set their sights on a safari experience in Southern Africa. By day here, there’s places to be and wildlife to see, but at night the camp crackles with campfire and conversation as guests and guides clink glasses and swap stories. Then there are languid afternoons spent in its Arabian-style tea tent, a spread of sandwiches and cakes for company—just one of many, many treats that await at Jack’s Camp.
