Kings Pool
Okavango Linyanti
Accommodation
Kings Pool Camp's eight spacious rooms are situated on a branch of the Linyanti River, the so-called Kings Pool Lagoon. Each room has a large sleeping area with en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor shower and an outdoor lounge where you can relax, read and enjoy the view of the lagoon. One of the rooms is suitable for families and has two en-suite bedrooms and a plunge pool.
The main building has been kept in dark colours - an elegant, timeless and really very tasteful design that skilfully captures the camp's royal history. It features a lounge with a fireplace, the bar, the restaurant with an outdoor area and a sunken lounge, as well as a pool.
Elephant and hippo can often be seen strolling past and grazing on the plains to the front of the camp. Guests of Kings Pool are accompanied by a chorus of grunting hippo as the lagoon in front of the camp is full of them.
Location
Kings Pool is located north of the Okavango Delta in the Linyanti region, just north of Duma Tau Camp. From camp, you can see across the river to Namibia (Caprivi Strip).
Kings Pool Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is situated approx. 60 minutes drive from the airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 50 minutes, and 45 minutes to Kasane.
Kings Pool Camp is part of the private Linyanti Concession (1,200 km²). Duma Tau Camp and Savuti Camp share the same concession.
Wildlife
Thousands of elephants can be seen along the Linyanti River during the dry winter months from July to October when the water sources in the hinterland dry up.
Game drives usually take place along the Linyanti River, where many animals, including lion, leopard and hyena, can be seen at the forest's edge or on the grassland. The mopane woodland behind the camp provides good chances to spot a rare roan or sable antelope.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives.
Kings Pool has a beautiful barge (the 8-seater Queen Sylvia) for sundowner trips on the Linyanti - a pleasant change, and a great chance to watch elephant crossing the river.
Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.
Good to know
A sunken hide is located at a waterhole approximately ten minutes’ drive from camp and can accommodate a maximum of six guests.
