King's Pool
Overview
The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve has abundant wildlife in a wide variety of species. However, is most noted for one of the largest free-ranging elephant populations which can reach enormous densities during the dry winter months. Other game is as profuse, such as impala, lechwe, kudu, zebras, giraffes, buffalos, and bushbuck; along with their predators: lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs and spotted hyaenas. Rarer species such as sable and roan antelope also emerge from the woodlands during the dry season. Birding is spectacular.
Refurbished in 2019, King’s Pool nestles under jackalberry trees and is named in honour of Swedish King Carl Gustav XVI, who reportedly honeymooned nearby in the seventies. Totally solar-powered, richly hued in copper and teal, this stylish camp offers seven well-appointed thatch and canvas twins and one suite, each boasting a spacious bedroom and lounge area leading to a veranda that embraces picturesque views of the surrounding lagoon. The magnificentmain area comprises a pool, lounge, library, dining and convivial bar area stylishly set on expansive raised decks close to the water's edge. Perfect for watching all the wildlife dramas unfold. An open-air "kgotla" for evening dining under the stars.
