Kings Pool Camp is located in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve and overlooks the Kings Pool Lagoon. The Reserve is situated in the Savute Channel area, on the Western Boundary of Chobe National Park. The Kings Pool Lagoon was named after a Scandinavian emperor who spent a number of nights on the banks of the river before the lodge was even built. The Reserve is known for its high density of elephants, especially in the winter months when they come and play in the muddy, semi-dry lagoon. At Kings Pool Camp, nine thatched roof, tented rooms overlook the Kings Pool Lagoon, with perfect views of the wildlife coming in to quench their thirst. Each suite has a large en suite bedroom and lounge area. The bathrooms are equipped with two basins and showers, and an outside shower is available for those who want to shower in their natural surroundings. A private plunge pool on the deck is perfect for lazy summer afternoons and guests can also unwind in the hammock next to the plunge pool. The main area at Kings Pool Camp is linked to all the suites by raised wooden walkways, making access to all areas easy. A viewing deck, with a swimming pool, offers spectacular views of the lagoon and game viewing is simple while relaxing with friends in the pool. Meals are served in the dining room and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar. Guests can also relax under the thatched roof of the public lounge area.
Game drives in open 4x4vehicles are conducted twice daily at Kings Pool Camp. This is quite a trilling experience as the area is well known for its dense population of wildlife like, large herds of zebra and giraffe as well as wildebeest and kudu. These animals in turn attract predators like leopard and lion. Guided game walks are only held if the environment is favourable to do so. Boat safaris are conducted when the water level permits a smooth boat ride. Night drives are also something to enjoy, as nocturnal animals can be observed with the spotlight. A real treat though is the underground hide that is located inland from the camp, where the eye level view is just above water level. This permits a view of the animals as they come to drink at the water, and because it is so secluded, one is almost close enough to touch the animal. |
