THE DETAILS
Wilderness King’s Pool
King’s Pool’s eight thatch and canvas suites have a spacious lounge and bedroom, artfully decorated with touches of copper and teal. Set on expansive raised decks near the water's edge, the common areas provide the perfect spots to settle in and watch the wildlife. The camp is completely powered by solar, courtesy of the warm Botswana sun, but there is respite to be found in the swimming pool.

Guardians of giants
King’s Pool is situated near a critical wildlife corridor in Botswana’s 126 000-ha Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. These wildlife corridors run across Angola, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana and are essential to the success of elephant populations across Africa.

King’s Pool is perfectly positioned to watch an array of iconic wildlife come and go as they quench their thirst along the Linyanti River. Under a cluster of jackalberry trees, the camp overlooks the lagoon for which King’s Pool is named, when Swedish King Carl Gustav XVI spent his honeymoon here in the romantic Linyanti.
