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.

The main lodge follows a similar traditional game lodge design style with its thatched roofs and wooden viewing deck – the stone-packed feature walls are particularly attractive. The lodge's emphasis is on a modern yet eco-friendly minimalist approach with the lodge also located right in the bush with no manicured gardens, thereby reducing the impact on the surrounding environment. The lodge has glassed sliding doors, overhead fans and screened floors which ensure you stay cool in summer while large, beautifully constructed packed stone fire places in the bar, lounge and dining room. The lounge area with its huge fireplace is a great spot to relax on a comfy sofa with a glass of good red wine on a chilly evening in front of a roaring fire! The lodge boasts a vast, expansive wrap-around deck complete with circular plunge pool - this is the ideal area to relax with an ice cold beer or chill out in the outdoor lounge as you watch animals quietly drinking and bathing in the waterhole in front of the lodge. You may find yourself sharing the pool with a herd of elephants as they have developed a taste for the swimming pool water over that of the waterhole! Qualified field guides take the morning and afternoon/evening game drives. Experience first-hand the thrill and excitement of tracking and locating wildlife, learn about the natural flora and fauna and view not only the big five but also cheetah, hippo, a vast array of bird species. You will have the opportunity to learn about the smaller animals, all of which come together to create this beautiful African ecosystem . PRICE INCLUDES: All meals Two Game Drives daily Accommodation in private luxury suite Teas, coffees, fruit juice at breakfast and snacks on game drive Morning coffee or tea and a sundowner drink per person per Game Drive HIGHLIGHTS Nambiti Plains Lodge is a small, intimate 5* Lodge that only accommodates 14 guests and is one of the few Lodges in the Nambiti Game Reserve that is not fenced in, meaning the guests have the opportunity to view animals up close and personal in camp OUR TIPS: The area around the game reserve was where the Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer wars took place.

Makanyi Private Game Lodge Supremely stylish and luxurious lodge in the famous Timbavati reserve, Greater Kruger. 1/20 Location Southern Timbavati Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park DESCRIPTION: Makanyi is arguably the most attractive and stylish lodge in the Timbavati but without going over the top – the use of natural elements like stone walls, wood and leather adds warmth to the unmistakably contemporary lines to create a luxurious yet welcoming lodge. Makanyi lodge itself provides a graceful yet unobtrusive sanctuary of calm that goes a long way to rival the enchantment of the bush which embraces it. Seven enormous suites and one sumptuous family suite blend seamlessly into their environment and offer the space and time to fully unwind; be that by relaxing on your suite’s deck with panoramic views of the bush and our active dam, curling up before a roaring fire in the evening chill or soaking up the aura in a glorious pedestal bath.

Nothing beats sitting on the deck by the pool, sipping a refreshing cocktail to the sounds of lions roaring not far away.
