Kings Pool Camp
Located in a private reserve in the Linyanti/Savuti Channel area in the northern part of Botswana, King Pool Camp is near the western boundary of Chobe National Park. The source of the Savuti Channel is within this private reserve. The camp overlooks the oxbow-shaped Kings Pool Lagoon and the Linyanti River to the north. The area has a large wildlife resource with a wide variety of species, but it is most noted for its very large elephant populations, which can reach enormous densities during the winter months (June, July and August.) There are ample populations of impala, lechwe, kudu, zebra, giraffe, sable, waterbuck, buffalo and the smaller plains antelope. The major predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena are resident, and are regularly sighted. 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.
Accommodations are in nine luxurious twin-bedded tented rooms under cool thatch overlooking the hippo-filled lagoon in front of the camp. Each of the bedrooms has its own large sleeping area, lounge, private swimming pool and a sala. Each en suite bathroom has a shower, hand basin and flush toilet. There is an outdoor shower too for those who prefer to be closer to Africa's natural elements.
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. Activities include game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers, night drives, boat safaris (water levels permitting) and guided walks.
