King’s Pool – Linyanti, Botswana
Tucked away in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, King’s Pool is a legendary Wilderness camp where timeless safari elegance meets remarkable ecological richness. Perched beside a tranquil oxbow lagoon, this refined retreat offers front-row seats to one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich corridors — frequented by elephants, big cats, and rare species like roan and sable antelope.
Each of the nine spacious canvas-and-thatch suites opens onto a private veranda with sweeping lagoon views. The design honors Botswana’s traditional craft with tactile textures, earthy tones, and natural materials, creating a space that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. The main area is expansive and open, with an al fresco lounge and dining deck overlooking the water, inviting guests to slow down and take in the rhythm of the wild.
Experiences at King’s Pool are equally immersive — from guided game drives and boat safaris to serene evenings on a solar-powered barge gliding across the water at sunset. There’s even a sunken hide by the waterhole, where you can watch elephants up close at eye level. A stay here blends soulful stillness with thrilling encounters, all delivered through a lens of conservation and quiet luxury.
