Sited on the original spot chosen by Jack Bousfield in the 1960s, Jack's Camp is set on the Pans of the Makgadikgadi. A relic of one of the world's largest super-lakes, formed some five to seven million years ago, the lake dried long ago to leave a vast salt pan. Jack's camp has two distinctive seasons: dry season (winter) 16 April - 31 October and wet season (summer) 1 November - 15 April. During the wet season, the landscape transforms. Clouds of flamingo and other migratory birds, along with herds of zebra and wildebeest, are drawn to the lush, long grass; ultimately, the predators head this way too.

At the camp there is a beautiful swimming pool where you can escape the heat and relax in the cool waters. Afternoon tea at Jack's camp is a sumptuous affair and the chef goes to great trouble to create mouth-watering sweet and savoury delicacies. The meals at the camp are served in the dining tent surrounded by interesting artefacts.
