KINGS POOL
Kings Pool Lagoon was apparently named after a Scandinavian monarch who spent a number of nights camping out on the banks of the lagoon
SITUATED :
Located in The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, Kings Pool Camp is a private reserve in the Linyanti / Savuti Channel area in the northern part of Botswana, on the western boundary of Chobe National Park. The source of the Savuti Channel is within this private reserve.
The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve offers one of Africa's most exhilarating wildlife experiences. The area covers 125,000 hectares (about 275,000 acres) of prime wildlife country situated between the Okavango and Chobe region.
ACCOMODATION AT KINGS POOL :
26 rooms in 3 small camps, overlooking the hippo filled lagoon in front of the camp.
Probably the most luxurious in all of Botswana, each camp consists of:
nine luxurious twin-bedded tented rooms- under cool thatch
- large bedroom area
- private lounge
- private plunge pool
- sala.
- en-suite bathroom with two showers, two hand basins and a separate flush toilet
- outdoor shower for those who prefer to shower under the stars.
FACILITIES:
- The main lounge, pub and dining room are under thatch,
- 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.
- Guests can enjoy productive siesta hours watching the animals coming down to drink at the lagoon in front of camp.
- At the western end of the camp is a thatched hide overlooking the Kings Pool Lagoon
- Underground hide located a kilometer or two inland from the camp. (When guests sit in the hide, their eye level reaches just above water level. It's not unusual to have elephant’s feet and trunks almost within touching distance, while guests are safely inside the hide.)
ACTIVITIES :
- Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles
- night drives
- guided walks when the camp manager feels that it is safe to conduct walking safaris.
WILDLIFE :
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 our winter months. Covering a diversity of landscapes ranging from riverine forests to floodplains and periodic marshlands, it is home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa, hippo in abundance, buffalo, antelope and predators.
