King’s Pool Camp

Linyanti Concession, adjoining Chobe National Park, Botswana

A historic Wilderness camp on the Linyanti, once used as a private presidential retreat.

Overview

King’s Pool Camp sits beside a lagoon on the Linyanti River system, a Wilderness property with a history that includes use as a private retreat, now offering one of the more storied luxury safari experiences in northern Botswana.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Spacious suites with private decks overlooking the lagoon, furnished to a high standard consistent with the camp’s historic pedigree.

Food & Service

A refined dining programme served lagoon-side, consistent with Wilderness’s broader luxury standards.

Activities

Game drives and boating along the Linyanti River system, tracking elephant migration and the area’s strong predator populations.

Wildlife & Photography

The lagoon draws consistent elephant, buffalo and hippo activity, with lion and wild dog frequently active along the surrounding woodland.

A Photographer's Note

The lagoon’s edge at golden hour, with elephant frequently drinking as the light softens, is one of the more reliable photography windows in the Linyanti system.

Conservation & Impact

The camp supports the same Linyanti-wide elephant corridor research funded across Wilderness’s northern Botswana properties.
