San Camp

(Makgadikgadi and Central Kalahari - Botswana)

General Description
San Camp sits serenely in a reef of palm at the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pan. The Makgadikgadi was once a great inland sea, which has since dried up and left a bed of salt pans the size of Switzerland. During the wet season the landscape transforms and flamingo and other migratory birds arrive here to nest. Herds of zebra and wildebeest are drawn by the lush grass, and for several months, the desert is teeming with game and predators.

Jack's Camp and San Camp offer a unique chance to explore and understand the Kalahari via game drives or walking safaris. Venturing far into the centre of the Makgadikgadi, on 4x4 quad bikes, you are able to explore remote archaeological sites, periodically discovering never before documented fossil beds of extinct giant zebra and hippo. The fact that you can travel across the pans at great speed and still arrive nowhere only underlines the pans immensity.

Accommodation
San Camp has six pale khaki canvas tents with no running water or electricity but with four-poster beds, mosquito net canopies, cambric sheets, bucket showers, and paraffin lamps.

Dining
Meals are served in the quirky dining room or under the African sky.
