Jack's Camp and San Camp are unique in that they are the only
permanent camps to offer a chance to explore and understand the
Kalahari.
|
| Ralph's
father, the late Jack Bousfield, who lived there for many years
preceding his unfortunate death in an aircraft accident, originally
established Jack's Camp in the 60's.
A visit to the area is essential for anyone interested in evolution and the origins and explanation of the Okavango Delta and Botswana's big picture….
Many of the guides are fully qualified Zoologists/Geologists, often working on PhD research. As such, they are most able to convey all the nuances of the desert and the adaptations of its inhabitants, which we consider to be one of the most interesting features of the environment. |

More about the Makgadikgadi Pans... |
The Makgadikgadi is one of the most important wetland sites remaining in Africa. In the wet season, the Makgadikgadi's Pans fill with water attracting flocks of flamingo and other migratory birds.
The Makgadikgadi, a relic of one of the world's largest super-lakes, dried up thousands of years ago as a result of the continued shifting of the earth's crust. When the Pans are dry, to travel where conventional vehicles cannot, and to guard against scarring the Pan's crust, we utilise four wheel drive quad bikes. Venturing far into the middle of the Pans, we are able to explore remote archaeological sites, periodically discovering sites never before documented such as fossil beds of extinct giant zebra and hippo. Theories as to how and when this vast geographic phenomenon was formed vary. The aim is to attempt to unravel some of the mysteries while providing the sophisticated traveller a first class traditional safari. |

It is also a complete desert experience focusing on species unique to
the area such as gemsbok, brown hyaena and springbuck, as well as the
geology, archaeology and anthropology of the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi.
Jack's and San Camp are the only places where you are guaranteed seeing
the rare and elusive brown hyaena in the whole of Africa.
