after undergoing a complete redesign,
Botswana’s San Camp reopened in July
amid a thin stand o ilala palms on the
ringe o the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, one
o the Earth’s largest salt fats. The tented
retreat, which operates annually rom April
to October, joins Jack’s Camp and Camp
Kalahari as the only outposts on Uncharted
Arica Saari’s Delaware-size private concession in north-
eastern Botswana.
San Camp’s overscale yet understated tents echo the
vastness and quietude o the surrounding desert. High tea
is served on low tables in a Bedouin-inspired rotunda
strewn with carpets. In the central dining
hall, glass cabinets hold a small natural his-
tory museum o local artiacts and ossils.
Additional tents house a yoga pavilion and
the camp’s six spacious suites, which ea-
ture our-poster beds and teak-lined en
suite bathrooms.
Days around the Makgadikgadi are spent
with the likes o John Barclay, a sixth-generation Arican
saari guide who takes guests hunting or ossils and walk-
ing with Zu/’hoasi bushmen. By night, visitors can venture
out on game drives into the moonlit salt pan. San Camp,
