Kings Pool Camp is located in The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, a private reserve in the northern part of Botswana, on the western boundary of Chobe National Park.
The source of the Savuti Channel is within this private reserve. The camp overlooks the oxbow-shaped Kings Pool Lagoon and the Linyanti River to the north.
Kings Pool Lagoon in the the Linyanti area has a large wildlife resource with a wide variety of species, but it is most noted for its very large Elephant population, which can reach enormous densities during the winter months.
There are good populations of Impala, Lechwe, Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe, Sable, Waterbuck, Buffalo and the smaller plains antelope. The major predators such as Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Hyena are regularly sighted. The reed and papyrus swamps are ideal for numerous and diverse species of birds and are a magnet for game in the dry winter months. |

 Facilities
• The main lounge, pub and dining room are under thatch,
• a swimming pool built into the deck.
• The main area is linked to the bedrooms by a raised walkway to allow animals to wander freely around the camp.
At the camp is a thatched hide overlooking the Kings Pool Lagoon. Guests can enjoy productive siesta hours watching the animals coming down to drink at the lagoon in front of camp.
The real highlight, though, is the underground hide located some distance inland from the camp. When guests sit in this hide, their eye level reaches just above water level. It's not unusual to have elephants feet and trunks almost within touching distance, while guests are safely inside the hide.
