Bed for the night is a luxurious tent alongside a crackling campfire. Next stop is the Kalahari Desert which covers the bulk of this land. It's a far cry from the lush landscape of the Okavango.

The Makgadikgadi Pans are the largest salt pans in the world - essentially a vast dried up lake which has left a landscape like no other on earth. It is the only place in the world I have seen a 360 degree horizon, with the sun setting to my left, the moon rising to my right.

Jacks camp sits on the edge of it, a "Hemingway-esque" tented resort that celebrates the sophisticated luxury of old.

It's the place to laze all day amongst an endless supply of scatter cushions, looking out on this bizarre landscape. You lie there, full of gin, thinking "this cannot get any better". But it does.

You are given a quad bike, a turban and told to follow a guide into the middle of the pans. As the sun begins to set suspicions are raised, until in the distance you spot the flicker of a campfire. And there, sitting on the dried up and cracked ground, in the middle of nowhere is your double bed, bedside lockers, rug and PJs (trust me, they won't be needed).

There is nothing else. Nothing! No walls, buildings, tents, other people, for miles! This is without doubt, the most romantic place in the world. If sleeping under the stars doesn't unleash you inner romantic beast, you are a waste of hormones. Of course a lunchtime stop off in a Holiday Inn may do the job for some of you, but perhaps its time to add a few tricks to your struggling routine. Treat yourselves, Lotharios, treat yourselves.
