Wy we Love Kings Pool

A luxury safari fit for royalty in the wild, remote Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. Quintessential Linyanti day and night game drives, thrilling bush walks and helicopter flips at the southernmost extent of the Great Rift Valley, topped off with sublime sunset boating on the Queen Silvia barge. Come nose-to-trunk with elephants in the one-of-a-kind eye-level waterhole at the underground hide – a feature that truly sets King’s Pool apart. A top Botswana destination for spotting rare sable and roan antelope.

Set in the heart of the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, the camp celebrates the romance of its history, retaining the traits of a traditional safari camp with renewed authentic, yet modern, Batswana flair. Each guest tent has a large bedroom and lounge area leading to a veranda that embraces the glorious views of the lagoon. Special care has been taken to balance privacy, safety and comfort whilst inviting the outside in, to create a signature immersive experience. In keeping with our commitment to driving sustainable tourism and operating with a light eco-footprint, the camp was refurbished in 2019, reusing or retaining much of the existing material from the previous camp – the superstructure, thatch roof, carved front doors and salvaged timber doors. The ancient Batswana craft of weaving is expressed in a number of architectural details. This theme is evident throughout the interiors, with abstract embroidery images and hand-painted basket murals. Earthy, rough textures are punctuated by warm copper – in handles and other details – adding richness and depth to the architectural mood. Accents of teal are used throughout to enhance the neutral bronze and copper colour palette.

Highlights

Tucked away in a grove of jackalberry trees, King’s Pool is a luxurious safari camp named for Swedish royalty. This regal thatch and canvas camp, made up of eight spacious suites, a sprawling common area and eye-level hide overlooks a tranquil lagoon, attracting a diverse parade of wildlife and an impressive array of birds.

Benefits

A true wilderness area with the highest density of elephant in Africa, the location of King’s Pool, bordering Chobe National Park and at the crux of KAZA's important wildlife corridor straddling Angola, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana, means it fulfils a vital role in the area’s biodiversity conservation.
