Explore the wonders of King’s Pool Camp in Botswana’s Linyanti region.
It might sound cliché, but King’s Pool Camp truly deserves a regal reputation. This cozy camp is nestled within the private Linyanti Game Reserve – a hidden gem in Botswana, offering you exclusive access to three million hectares of untouched wilderness, featuring the remarkable Savute Channel. The exceptional lodging offers breathtaking views of King’s Pool Lagoon and the Linyanti River, a vibrant habitat where wildlife flourishes and majestic predators like lions, African wild dogs, and hyenas can often be seen. With two-thirds of the channel nestled within the reserve and Namibia’s Caprivi Strip just across the river, this vibrant area presents discerning travellers with an exceptional experience of Africa at her finest.

Alongside the early morning and twilight game drives in an open-top 4×4, visitors at King’s Pool Camp can embark on river cruises aboard a Victorian-inspired barge and retreat to two unique hides – one nestled below ground beside a waterhole – to maximize their wildlife encounters. To support environmental preservation, the entire camp operates solely on solar power, and the pathways connecting the nine luxurious tents have been elevated to grant smaller wildlife unrestricted access (the encampment is unfenced, allowing you to hear the sounds of hippo and warthog families wandering and foraging at night). Twitchers will be excited to discover that King’s Pool Camp is situated in a vital bird area, where yellow bee catchers will be among the first to check off your list.

Even the tents are remarkable, perfectly complementing the breathtaking surroundings: each features its own plunge pool with views of the King’s Pool Lagoon, double walk-in showers, and exquisitely romantic 4-poster beds. With attentive staff and meticulous attention to detail, King’s Pool Camp offers an exceptional retreat for safari enthusiasts seeking a luxurious bush experience filled with all the finest touches.

General Amenities
The tents and communal areas of the camp are connected by elevated wooden walkways, creating a space where animals can roam freely beneath.

The vast wooden deck that gazes out over King’s Pool Lagoon features two sunken seating areas, perfect for observing hippos, crocodiles, and the abundant birdlife that thrives in this pristine reserve. Integrated into the expansive deck is an infinity-edge plunge pool perfect for refreshing dips on warm afternoons, alongside a more formal seating area that enhances the front deck’s allure. Just behind this is a thatch-covered bar and dining area that perfectly blends with the surrounding landscape, inviting exploration and excitement.

In addition to the exhilarating game drives that occur twice a day, you can embark on thrilling walking safaris led by an armed guide, or enjoy scenic boating trips, depending on the water levels. A beauty and wellness therapist is available to enhance your experience with delightful massage or aromatherapy treatments during your stay.

Through the exciting Bush Buddy programme, kids aged six to 17 can embark on a variety of thrilling activities, from frogging with their assigned ‘buddy’ and creating casts of animal tracks to challenging the staff in soccer or volleyball games, all while capturing their extraordinary safari experiences through storytelling and poetry.

Dining
Start your day with a refreshing breakfast before embarking on your morning safari, and indulge in a hearty brunch upon your return from the wild. Afternoon tea is presented with an indulgent selection of sweet and savoury treats to relish before your exciting game drive. If you prefer, you can forgo the morning game drive, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and opt for lunch rather than brunch.

Evening meals are frequently enjoyed beneath the vast sky on the front deck. Your meals can be savored at private tables or in a lively gathering.

Every meal at King’s Pool Camp is an exhilarating feast of global flavors, perfectly complemented by exquisite wines. Side dishes and starters are presented in a buffet style, while main courses are offered a la carte.
