Reminiscent of a past era of the safari, this old-fashioned ten-key lodge in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans taps into the romantic spirit of the 1940s explorer – think great Persian rugs and campaign furniture decor. While the rugged wilderness is obviously a touchpoint, perhaps what makes Jack’s Camp even more memorable is the proximity to remote archaeological sites, at which guests can uncover fossil beds of animals like the extinct giant zebra and hippo. Rounding out the excursions are game drives, quad rides across the lunar expanse of the pans, or, if the time’s right, experiencing the spectacular migration of zebra and wildebeest. To cap off the Kalahari experience, spend your nights browsing through titles in the spacious, African-themed library or indulging in a tailor-made spa treatment.
