The TRUE experience
Why we love it
- Spectacularly located right on the very edge of the ‘Pans’, this is one of the most romantic camps in Africa.
- Quad Biking along the salt flats searching for meerkats is only one of the many exciting activities provided.
- Remote archaeological sites can be found, periodically discovering never-before-documented fossil beds of extinct giant zebra and hippo.
Stay at San Camp
San Camp the Sister Camp of Jack’s Camp is spectacularly located right on the edge of the historic Makgadikgadi Saltpans, 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 and is now one of the largest salt pans in Africa.
A billowy beige canvas pavillion is the central living area where guests gather for lavish and elegant meals with an adjoining tea tent filled with a variety of soft scatter cushions, surrounded by six large luxurious white canvas tents each with a private en-suite and magnificent views across the âPansâ. The cool white décor of egyptian cotton sheets and persian
rugs form a striking contrast with the rugged wilderness of the Makgadikgadi.
The camp offers guided walks through the desert with some of the San Bushmen who will educate you in their ancient ways and traditions. Slightly inland from the pans there are a few families if Meerkats which you will get to spend time with. Walking, quad biking or riding through the Pans you will experience the silence of utterly nothing, you will here no noises but those of the animals and crunch of salt under boot. This is a safari like no other in Africa.

The Pitchers
We had the most amazing time! John Barclay and his team were very special and the mobile safari exclusive and superb. Moremi was very quiet with few other tourists – no more than a dozen other vehicles seen in four days. Macatoo was also excellent with good riding and game. We were so grateful for the help that you offered when our BA flights went wrong. Many thanks again for the superb service and recommendations which made for a great holiday.
