Wilderness King’s Pool is set in the remote Linyanti Wildlife Reserve in northern Botswana, overlooking a tranquil oxbow lagoon and the Linyanti River system. This exclusive camp offers a classic safari experience in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich private concessions, where elephants and predators move freely through ancient migration corridors.
This is a refined, intimate safari camp where wildlife encounters happen at close range. Guests enjoy exceptional game viewing by land and water, with a strong focus on comfort, guiding, and immersive wilderness experiences.
The Linyanti region forms part of a vast transboundary ecosystem linking Botswana with Angola, Namibia, and Zambia. King’s Pool sits in a prime position along this wildlife corridor, where animals move freely between water sources and floodplains.
The camp overlooks a beautiful lagoon that attracts a constant flow of game. Elephant, buffalo, and predators are frequently seen from camp, creating a safari experience where nature is always present and active.
