Jack’s Camp

Take game drives and night drives in custom

built 4x4s to spot the unique desert wildlife

that inhabit the pans, like the elusive brown

hyena or Kalahari lion. Your experienced

safari guide will help you discover a desert

landscape, pulsating with life. Complete with

bush picnics, morning coffees and chilled

drinks.

Get up close and personal with our families of meerkats. Leaving camp as the sun begins to rise you will accompany these inquisitive members of the mongoose family as they set off in search of their breakfast. Walk amongst them (you’re not allowed to touch or feed them) and if you take a seat you might be lucky enough to be mistaken for a termite mound, where you’ll be used as a look out point for predators.

Discover the secrets of the pans with the

Zu/’hoasi Bushmen on a fascinating bush walk.

See this ancient desert landscape through their

eyes. These skilled hunter gatherers will show

you how to survive, using their extraordinary

tracking skills to uncover a smorgasbord of

culinary delights… from bulbs, to scorpions, to

berries. Spending time with them is a very rare

privilege.

Saddle up to explore this wild, unspoilt area in the
same way many of the earliest explorers, hunters
and missionaries did – on horseback! You’ll embark
on an adventurous outride (for all level riders). This
is an exhilarating way to spot wildlife, cantering
along the crusty salt flats and following the animal
highways that bring life to the Makgadikgadi Pans.

This is an additional cost.

This is pure desert adventure! Take an exhilarating

quad bike across the salt-crusted pans

(all pan activity is weather permitting). You’ll

feel total freedom as you trek across this vast

and ancient landscape, discovering so much

about the remnants of this once super lake.

A visit to the Fallen Baobab – one of the three largest and oldest trees in Africa and reputedly the campsite of Livingstone and Selous.

Witness the second largest migration in Africa.

A stonking spectacle of black and white stripes

as approximately 30,000 zebra and wildebeest

migrate across the Makgadikgadi Pans, followed

closely by stalking predators, waiting for the rich

pickings of tired hooves. This is a wildlife explosion

and an experience not to be missed!
