King’s Pool

Linyanti, Botswana

King’s Pool Camp is located in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, a private reserve in the northern part of Botswana. The nine twin-bedded tented rooms set under cool thatch, overlook a hippo filled lagoon in front of the camp.

King’s Pool is superbly set above the oxbow-shaped King’s Pool Lagoon with the Linyanti River to the north. The Linyanti area has a large wildlife resource with a wide variety of species, but it is most noted for its very large Elephant population, which can reach enormous densities during the winter months.

The diversity of the game means the Linyanti is a perfect place for any visitor. The major predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyaena are regularly sighted together with good populations of impala and smaller animals. The reed and papyrus swamps are ideal for numerous and diverse species of birds and are a magnet for game in the dry winter months.

The nine twin-bedded tented rooms are some of the most luxurious in Botswana. Each of the suites has its own large bedroom area, lounge, private plunge pool and a sala. Each en-suite bathroom has two showers, two hand basins and a separate flush toilet. There is an outdoor shower for those who prefer to shower under the stars. The main lounge, pub and dining room are under thatch, and there is a swimming pool built into the deck. The main area is linked to the bedrooms by a raised walkway to allow animals to wander freely around the camp.

Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, and occasionally guided walks.
