| Jack's Camp was originally established by the late Jack Bousfield while on a trapping expedition in the 1960's. The choice of such striking locale owed much to his original taste for the savage beauty of a forgotten Africa. Jack was immediately inspired by this special place and envisaged a new and innovative safari. His son, Ralph, is now pursuing Jacks vision.
Using four wheel drive quad bikes, guest are able to explore a hitherto unknown and impenetrable area in an exciting and eco-friendly way.
