What do I recommend to clients who have already done the classic safari? A salt pan the size of a small country.
Jack’s Camp sits on the edge of Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans, and it does safari like nowhere else in Africa. You can sit with a habituated colony of meerkats at sunrise (they’ll happily climb onto your shoulder and use you as a lookout), walk the desert with Zu/’hoasi San guides who read the land like a book, and take quad bikes far out across the pans to sleep under more stars than you thought possible.
The camp itself is something special. It’s been rebuilt in its original 1940s expedition style, with Persian rugs, brass fittings and a tent that doubles as a proper natural history museum. Come in the green season and there’s a zebra migration that hardly anyone talks about.
This is the safari that surprises even the most seasoned travellers. If you’ve already ticked off the Big Five and want something completely different, let’s talk.
