  • Location: Botswana, Linyanti
  • Type of Accommodation: Tented Camp
  • Comfort Level: Luxury

overview

Set in the private Linyanti Reserve, Kings Pool Camp is a luxurious tented camp overlooking Kings Pool Lagoon and the Linyanti River. This little-visited area of Botswana is characterised by grasslands, riverine forest and open woodlands which, along with the now-flowing Savuti Channel, make for an especially rewarding safari experience - enormous herds of elephants are a feature of the dry season, and the region is famous for its density of predators. Set out each morning and late afternoon for expertly-led game drives in this wildlife-rich region.

You can also accompany your professional guide on a walking safari to discover another side of this environment, particularly the varied birdlife. Boating trips are also offered when water levels are high enough. One of the highlights of your stay is watching elephants from the camp's underground hide; with the lagoon water at eye level, you can see the elephants' legs and trunks as they wade in the water.

Facilities

The tents and main areas of the camp are linked by raised wooden walkways allowing animals to wander freely around the guest areas. The camp overlooks a hippo-filled lagoon where elephants often cross - the enormous wooden deck and two comfortable, sunken seating areas are fantastic vantage points to watch wildlife.

There is a plunge pool built into one side of the deck - a cool place to spot animals around the lagoon - as well as a more formal, covered seating area, well-stocked bar and dining area under thatch just behind the deck. There is also a very well-stocked curio shop where you can find gifts for those at home.

Dining

A light breakfast is served before your morning safari whereas a substantial brunch awaits you on your return. Afternoon tea is a decadent choice of sweet and savoury snacks and is served before your afternoon drive.

Dinner can be served at individual tables or a large sociable table in the dining area, but more often than not you’ll eat under the stars on the open deck. The evening meal is usually a choice of plated options although once a week you’ll be treated to an evening of traditional food, singing and story-telling around the fire.

Standard Tent

The camp's nine luxurious thatch and canvas tented suites overlook the hippo-filled Kings Pool Lagoon - each spacious suite has its own bedroom, lounge and en suite bathroom with an additional outdoor shower.

There are folding doors in the front of your suite so that you can open the tent completely and enjoy views of the lagoon. Wander onto your private deck and relax around your private plunge pool or on your day bed in the shade of your gazebo.

Traveller Reviews

  • We were punctually collected by Alex from Kings Pool and welcomed like a part of the family when we got to camp…. Here I really can’t say enough about the staff at Kings Pool in specific “One” who made all my valentines dreams come true… they treated us like absolute royalty, nothing was too much, but there was also enough space just to chill and be ourselves whilst being waited on hand and foot – this is quite a fine balance to get right and they did it magically! Our guide on this part of the trip was a little too much like a school headmaster for me, he was quite strict about not talking on the drive, which didn’t leave much room for chatting to the other guests which got quite boring quite quickly and I actually ducked out of a few drives because I found they were quite long time wise and also not very much ‘fun’. The food, service from all the other staff, location, amenities etc. was spectacular and the wildlife, including the morning serenade of Hippo’s was enough to keep us smiling

  • It was fantastic. The staff at this camp were just perfect. They had very social managers, excellent location and service was outstanding. The game viewing was also great, the only thing we did not see were wild dogs, that in spite of our driver Moses tearing from the lodge to the far boundary of the property just to find a pack of them for us. We missed them, but it was simply his attitude to helping make our time memorable that was great. We had baboons raid our room and a very large elephant literally 3 metres from our front door. This place was a great start to our trip.
