  • Leaving the Delta you will fly south to the rugged, yet beautiful, Makgadikgadi Pans. Where there was once a vast lake, there are now miles of shimmering white salt pans expanding out in all directions. What little vegetation and water is available draws in the local wildlife making for excellent viewing opportunities. You will enjoy all of this from the comfort of your private tent at Jack's Camp.
