Jack's Private Camp
A relic of one of the world's largest super-lakes, the Makgadikgadi dried up thousands of years ago as a result of the continued shifting of the earth's crust. Jack's Camp is sited in this prehistoric setting offering just ten bedouin-style suites. Here, in the cool interiors of your private deck, the striking desert contrast is truly appreciated.
A trailblazer in desert aesthetics, Jack's Camp has designed this Private Villa for families, complete with a private deck and pool, creatively aligned to harmonize with the sun's trajectory and gentle breezes. This strategic orientation, coupled with ample shade and continuous airflow, offers a blissful escape from the Kalahari's sizzling temperatures.
Yet, the ultimate luxury at Jack's lies in disconnecting from the world, relishing the serene companionship of the desert's tranquil silence.
The color palette of Jack's Private Camp draws inspiration from the vibrant hues of desert life, reflecting the rich tapestry of the environment, its people, and the surrounding landscapes.
Dry season photography
There's always some mystery unfolding in the light of the African plains. Skittish zebra approach the swelling pans, their spell of caution broken as a vast cloud of dust erupts when a herd of Cape buffalo charges across the floodplains of the Okavango.
These majestic creatures play a crucial role in shaping the landscape, as their grazing and movement through the undergrowth maintain open spaces for predators to thrive and hunt.
Dry periods and droughts are natural occurrences that help stabilize ecosystems and wildlife populations. Just as wet cycles characterized by increased rain benefit specific wildlife, dry periods bring advantages for others such as African Wild Dog, Hyena, Lion and Vultures. The shorter grasses result in more visible game viewing, perfect for photography.
