Kings Pool Camp

An oxbow lake setting gives Kings Pool Camp a wonderful waterside location in an area famous for its land-based game viewing.

An oxbow lake setting gives Kings Pool Camp a wonderful waterside location in an area famous for its land-based game viewing. The Linyanti Reserve lies between the Chobe National Park and the vast game-rich wetlands that span northern Botswana and Namibia’s Caprivi Strip. Game viewing and birding is good all year but exceptional wildlife sightings are best enjoyed in the dry winter months from June to October.

Kings Pool is one of Botswana’s most luxurious camps. Raised wooden walkways connect the main lodge to its nine beautiful suites, each featuring a private viewing deck and plunge pool. Guests enjoy morning and afternoon game drives as well as the camp’s famous sunset cruise on the Linyanti River when water levels permit. Two hides make bird watching and wildlife photography easy, especially since one of them is set with water at eye level.

The camp is solar-powered and has a wonderful romantic ambience, perfect for honeymoons and special-occasion celebrations. Its private nature and self-contained suites will appeal to families with older children and groups travelling together, especially during peak game viewing season when there is plenty of drama unfolding next to the river. Great herds of elephant and buffalo move into the area for water, good news for Linyanti’s big cats and the area ‘special’ – packs of the highly endangered African wild dog.

Lodge Highlights:

  • Lagoon-side setting in the Private Linyanti Reserve
  • Game drives, sunset river cruises & birding
  • Excellent dry-season game viewing
  • Massages, photography hides & private plunge pools

Linked to the main lodge by raised wooden walkways, the camp’s nine canvas and thatched suites are noted for their expansive size, polished wooden furniture and African art pieces.

The camp sits raised above the Linyanti floodplains, its main lodge and suites connected by wooden walkways under which wildlife often wanders. The huge viewing deck overlooks the river and has two sunken lounge areas, ideal for daytime game viewing and night-time fireside stories. The deck is also the venue for star-lit suppers, either communally or privately. One night of the week is set aside for staff to stage a night of traditional dishes, talks and song – not to be missed!

Kings Pool Camp has a communal infinity pool as well as its private plunge pools. Its two photographic hides offer excellent game viewing and bird watching opportunities, while guests can balance the thrills of big game viewing with indulgent massages and beauty treatments at the hands of the camp’s wellness therapist.

Activities at Kings Pool Camp

  • Day & Night Game Drives
  • River Barge Cruises (Seasonal)
  • Guided Walks & Bird Watching
  • Catch-&-Release Fishing (Seasonal)

Linyanti’s permanent waterways are surrounded by golden grasslands and open woodland – prime big game country. An appealing blend of Chobe and Moremi environments, the Linyanti area is best explored by 4X4 and guests at Kings Pool enjoy morning, afternoon and evening game drives in the company of expert guides, on the lookout for Linyanti’s famous predators: the area is particularly good for leopard and lion as well as the African wild dog, packs of which breed in the area.

Open-sided vehicles make photography easy, as do the camp’s two photographic hides, one of which is located at water level. River barge cruises – complete with sundowner drinks and an African sunset – are offered when water levels are high enough, as is catch-and-release fishing. Linyanti is a year-round destination but game viewing is best during the dry winter months from June to October when animals concentrate in ever-increasing numbers at the water’s edge.

Reviews

Professional, patient, efficient and responsive. Met all our travel needs and requirements spot on

Communication was excellent – I asked A LOT of questions and did a ton of research myself and Walter was extremely patient with me and very responsive. he was straight forward and extremely professional.  Tour itself was excellent – an incredible experience and one never to be forgotten. Everything was spot on.

Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver. She responded to our requests promptly and gave us several options with links to each option; we ultimately chose Lukimbi. She then coordinated our flights to and from the property, arranged the drivers necessary to get us from the airport to the lodge and back again, and sent the appropriate paperwork to each of us to verify each step of the process. We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!

Chris
Above expectations

Excellent communications and service. We dealt with Sabrina and she is awesome. The safari tour was amazing, i can highly recommend going to Elephant Plains. Its a very special place run by awesome people.

Werner
They kept us fully informed and updated throughout planning, travel, etc.

It was excellent all around. Everything worked out well. An experience of a lifetime! The game viewing rides were fun and very informative.

Karen
A great tour operator that was a pleasure to deal with.

We used Safari Online to put together a mid-range Botswana trip for a group of four going to three different camps and then onto Vic Falls. We asked several operators to provide options (through this great safari bookings website) and Walter Kohrs from Safari Online was easily the most responsive and quickest to provide different but realistic options and at good prices. In the end it was a no brainer to go with Safari Online. Walter always responded to my queries quickly, with honest and valuable responses that were clear and made sense. From our perspective he tailored a good mix of places for both our budget and standard of facilities that suited us perfectly, with enough information and links to help us make our decisions. In the end each camp was different and had different aspects and strengths that made each unique. We loved it.

Shane
Excellent service and support for our Africa vacation

Working with Walter was a great experience. He listened to us and helped us build a vacation that exceeded all of our expectations. We really appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail.

Dan
Perfect

We are six older but experienced travellers who usually do our own planning. Luck led us to Safari Online and Walter. His ideas proved spot on. Throughout our planning Safari Online have been helpful, always answering emailed questions, no matter how basic, straightaway. We’ve had probably our best ever holiday in years of travel, everything went smoothly. Pickups and transfers were on time. Staff in all the places we stayed were friendly and helpful. I can’t think of one adverse remark except maybe seeing a lion that wasn’t asleep, though I think if it could have been arranged Walter would have done so.
