Sample Itinerary
Day 1
Makgadikgadi Pans
Welcome to Africa! Today is a big travel day, but it will all be worth it when you arrive at your destination. When you arrive in Johannesburg you will be met by a representative who will assist you with navigating the airport and checking in to your connecting flight to Maun. You will have one last flight on a light aircraft from Maun to Tsigaro, where you will be met and driven the short distance to Jack’s Camp, located in Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans.
Ten green roomy and stylish canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms and indoor and outdoor showers have been fashioned in classical style and are set into a palm grove creating an oasis of civilization in what can be the harshest of stark environments. Persian rugs underfoot and cool cotton sheets form a striking contrast with the rugged wilderness viewed from the comfort of one's own veranda.
