DESCRIPTION: One of Africa’s most famous camps, Jack’s Camp rises like an oasis of luxury from among the Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana. Elegantly styled to capture the sense of adventure of the original explorers without compromising on comfort, Jack’s Camp is unique in style and experience-with some of the most original desert experiences in Africa available. The charming Jack’s Camp is surrounded by the vast and pristine landscapes of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. Paying homage to the property’s enduring and much-loved 1940s campaign style, this spectacular retreat offers only eight tents, all of which are spacious and stylish. Each intimate tent features a lovely ensuite bathroom, with an indoor and alfresco shower and a private veranda. Enjoy the warmth of the wood-burning morso stove, the coolness of the overhead bed cooling system, and beautiful natural history cabinets.

Relax in each room's comfortable living area, with a sofa and day bed for expansive views of the Kalahari.

Jack’s offers a long list of excellent activities – all centred around exploring this extraordinary landscape with various opportunities to discover elusive game species that occur in this natural environment, with morning afternoon and night drives as well as bush walks. Ever-popular visits to the habituated meercat colony are always a highlight when visiting Jack’s camp. Guests are encouraged to venture out and experience the desert first hand with the nomadic bushmen. To walk with the Zu’/Hoasi Bushmen who call this arid landscape home is a truly remarkable experience. The Bushman visits here are sensitively done and not manufactured, indeed these are some of the best ‘bushman activities’ in Botswana. Informative bush walks with the Zu/’hoasi Bushmen are interesting and engaging. A stay of three nights ensures that you don’t miss the chance to witness a traditional Bushman trance dance. The archaeology in this region is fascinating and will be revealed by their expert guides on walks and trips to popular sites such as Chapman’s Baobab During the lush green season visitors have the opportunity to marvel at the breeding colony of dusky- pink flamingos of the nearby Sua Pan. The rains at this time of year bring with them migrating herds of zebra intermingled with comical wildebeest and the occasional opportunistic predator. The dry season between May and October invites one to thrill in quad bike journeys across the barren delicate salt pans. Jack’s Camp lies on the vast Ntwetwe concession, a one million – acre private wildlife reserve, shared by just three sister camps, making this an extremely exclusive safari experience. The Makgadikgadi Pans are the remnants of one of the world’s largest super lakes which once dominated much of Botswana. This striking desert landscape makes for a fascinating combination with an Okavango safari, the unique desert adapted species providing much variety to your Botswana safari. The experience here varies greatly with the season, with the migration of zebra and wildebeest and amazing birds in the green season with more classic desert species seen in the dry season. Activities will vary with the seasonal conditions too. Quad Biking is not available when the pans are wet, usually from Nov-April. PRICE INCLUDES: Luxury accommodation in a Tent All meals All alcoholic and non-alcoholic house drinks Guest laundry Daily activities Expert guiding Park entry fees Community and Conservation Fees of R275 per person per night HIGHLIGHTS Have some fun together as you get up close and personal with playful meerkats on the Meerkat Adventure Spend time walking and interacting with a group of Zu/’hoasi Bushmen gaining insight into their ancient culture.

  • Pel's Post

    Pel's Post Pel's Post A bespoke luxury lodge on a private concession in the northern part of the Kruger National Park. pels_post-kruger-lodge-aerial.jpg pels_post-kruger-lodge-9.jpg pels-post-room-2..jpg pels_post-kruger-lodge-aerial.jpg 1/28 Location Private Concession in the Pafuri region, Northern Kruger National Park DESCRIPTION: The award-winning eco-luxe resort, Pel's Post, is located in the remote, undeveloped far north of the Kruger National Park. There isn't a better location to unwind and rest than in one of the four suites, all of which have views of the Luvuvhu River that go on for as far as the eye can see. For the ultimate private safari experience, you also have the option of reserving the full lodge for a group of friends or family - this option comes complete with your own chef, game vehicle and field guide). The lodge's main deck and associated sitting areas, as well as the 4 roomy bedrooms (or "spaces," as the lodge calls to them), are essentially completely open in the front, providing unhindered views over the Luvuvhu river below and the baobab-dotted plains beyond! The design is unapologetically sleek and futuristic, yet the copious use of wood and canvas prevents the lodge from appearing sterile or clinical. Simply put, Pel's Post is one of the most beautiful lodges in Africa! Pel's Post is designed for a family or a group of friends to take over completely, if you wish. With only four suites, accommodating a maximum of eight guests, Pel’s Post is ideal for anyone looking for total privacy. Should you be travelling in a smaller group, you are also welcome to book on a per room, per night basis. All spaces have retractable, remote-controlled screens – offering uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Luvuvhu River below. Sundowners in magical locations, spa treatments, two daily game drives, giant baobabs, the largest fever tree forest in the Southern Hemisphere, drinks around a crackling fire at night, any requests big or small... Pel's Post defines a once-in-a-lifetime bespoke safari experience. Pel’s Post is also famous for its specialist walking safaris. Should you book all four suites, you will have your own chef, vehicle and expert field guide. The Pafuri region of the Kruger is probably the most wonderfully scenic part of the entire Kruger park! Due to its location on the western edge of the Makuleke concession, Pel's Post offers easy access to two magnificent gorges close by, including the well-known Lanner Gorge and the lesser-known but no less breathtaking Mutale Gorge. The gorgeous fever tree forest, some breathtaking pans that are a birder's paradise, and the notorious Crook's Corner—where South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique meet on the Limpopo river—can all be found if you travel farther east in the concession near Pafuri Camp. Even with all the above, your visit to Pel's Post will most likely be dominated by the Luvuvhu river's ipresence. The Luvuvhu serves as the primary artery whose waters draw much of the wildlife found in this often fairly dry area, from the breathtaking views down on the river from the lodge, the dramatic Lanner valley the river has cut, to the game drives and hikes through its gorgeous riverine forest. Although the Pafuri region does not have the same concentration of plains game and predators as the southern half of the park, you are still likely to see superb elephant and good herds of buffalo, especially along the river. Then there’s the also the stunning tree life (the baobabs and fever tree forest are simply spectacular) and the superb birding, commonly recognised as being perhaps the best in the country, especially during the summer months when the migrants from the northern hemisphere arrive en-masse. Who knows – perhaps you’ll even be lucky enough to spot one of the famous fishing owls that lend their name to this wonderfully stylish lodge! RATE INCLUDES: Luxury accommodation Two game drives per day Three meals daily Selected Beverages Tea & Coffee Wi-Fi in central area Private Chef Private Guid - for exclsuive use clients Private Vehicle - for exclsuive use clients HIGHLIGHTS: Pel’s Post has one of the finest locations of any lodge in South Africa – perched high on a bluff seemingly within touching distance of the Luvuvhu river below, these are some of the best views on offer anywhere!

  • Mount Anderson

    Mount Anderson Mount Anderson Wildlife and Water Catchment Reserve, Lydenburg mount-anderson-top-cottage-roomjpg mount-anderson-3jpg mount-anderson-5jpg mount-anderson-top-cottage-roomjpg 1/12 Location Mount Anderson Wildlfe and Water Catchment Reserve, Lydenburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa DESCRIPTION: Mount Anderson Water Reserve is a unique and exclusive getaway set in the dramatic landscape of the mountains above the town of Mashishing (Lydenburg) in the Mpumalanga Province. It is an idyllic retreat for families and small groups seeking refuge from the rigors of everyday city life – offering the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind in one of South Africa’s most unique private nature reserves. The property offers spectacular scenery and breathtaking views and carries rare and endangered wildlife as well as some of the most unique vegetation in the country. The property is also steeped in history. It has been owned by Michael and Norma Rattray for some years and now that they have disposed of the famous MalaMala Game Reserve, they are giving their full attention to the operation of this extraordinary property. Mount Anderson has an enormous variety of species of plants, wildflowers and trees – too plentiful to mention. Here you will find anything from two species of Protea – the Common Sugarbush and the Transvaal Silverleaf, Wild Orchids, Red Fuchsia, Cape Holly, St John’s Wort, Aloes, Gladioli, Pineapple Flowers, Hard Fern, and a variety of indigenous trees including Oudehout, several Rhus species, Paresley Trees, Buddleja, the Common Sugarbush and the Transvaal Silverleaf – to mention a mere few. Always passionately dedicated to wildlife, land and water conservation in the country, Michael Rattray purchased the reserve in the 1980s in an attempt to restore it from domestic overgrazing to its original ecological splendor. Successfully proclaimed in 1990 as South Africa’s first-ever private water catchment reserve, Mount Anderson is a classic conservation story and today protects some of the major river catchments that are the lifeblood of the Kruger National Park and all the local communities. RATE INCLUDES: Luxurious en-suite accommodation All meals, picnics and snacks. All activities conducted by an experienced guide. Activities included in the rate: Wildlife safaris - by 4-wheel drive safari vehicles. Fly-fishing - rods / reels available. Horse riding – we have 4 mountain ponies. Mountain biking - exhilarating for all levels. Limited bikes and gear available. You are welcome to bring your own. Hiking trails - range from gentle riverside ambles to a challenging hike and climb. Includes beautiful waterfalls, San rock art, ancient Pedi tribe ruins and relics of the gold mining era from 1880-1900. Kayaking, row boating, zip lining, swimming and picnics at the lakes HIGHLIGHTS: Walking along the grassy slopes is rewarding for lovers of birds and wild flowers. The grassland is undisturbed with a predominance of the palatable Rooigras. It is on the upper grassland slopes that one may see herds of grey rhebok, mountain reedbuck, jackals, black wildebeest, zebra, eland and blesbuck OUR TIPS: At the higher altitudes, where water seeps from sponges or between rock fissures, the resultant marshes host their own unique ecosystems. Here you will find vegetation that has adapted to living in permanent wetland, and the dominant greenery consists of sedges – grass-like plants with characteristic inflorescent crowns on tall straight stems. This is a popular habitat for frogs and toads, as well as shrews and moles. Dragonflies and the less sedentary Damselflies can be seen on warm days.
