Kings Pool Camp

Kings Pool sits in Botswana’s private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve (NG15), part of the greater Kavango–Zambezi transfrontier system. The camp overlooks the Linyanti River and the oxbow-shaped Kings Pool Lagoon, where riverine woodland, floodplain and marsh draw large elephant herds and predators in the dry months. Raised walkways and broad decks keep views open to the water. Access is typically by light aircraft from Maun or Kasane to a nearby airstrip, followed by a short game-drive transfer into camp.

Accommodation comprises nine thatch-and-canvas suites plus one two-bedroom family unit. Each suite opens to a large private deck with a plunge pool and outdoor seating; interiors include a lounge area and a bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom (double vanities, flush toilet and indoor shower; an outdoor shower). The family unit shares a private plunge pool and sunken lounge between two en-suite bedrooms—ideal for families or friends seeking extra space without sacrificing views of the lagoon.

Central areas flow onto wide decks facing the lagoon, with a comfortable lounge, dining area and a main swimming pool. A dedicated photographic hide near the water enables dramatic eye-level wildlife viewing between drives. Wi-Fi and a small boutique are available, and massages can be arranged in-room rather than in a formal spa. Activities typically run in the early morning and late afternoon, with night drives offered in the private reserve; seasonal barge cruises, guided walks and catch-and-release fishing round out the options.
