# Kings Pool Camp, Linyanti – “camping out” in style

> Kings Pool Camp is a luxury tented safari camp in the Linyanti Concession of Botswana, operated by Wilderness Safaris on the banks of the Linyanti River beside the Kings Pool lagoon, bordering Chobe National Park. It combines 'camping in style' with exceptional wildlife viewing in a landscape of open savanna, riparian forest, and mixed bush.

## Destination
Linyanti Concession, Botswana, on the western edge of Chobe National Park along the Linyanti River.

## What to see
- **Kings Pool Lagoon** — A scenic lagoon beside the camp offering views of hippos, crocodiles, and other wildlife from the deck and tent verandas.
- **Wildlife Hides** — Two small concealed pavilions allowing guests to observe animals up close without disturbance.
- **Linyanti Landscape** — Varied terrain of open savanna, dense riparian forest, mixed bush, and the bone-dry Savuti Canal.

## What to do
- **Game Drives** — Guided drives into the Linyanti Concession with expert trackers and guides.
- **Boma Night** — Traditional outdoor evening with a buffet meal, singing, and dancing performed by all camp staff with guest participation.
- **Private Hide Dining** — The camp can convert one of its wildlife hides into a private dining pavilion for special occasions.

## Good to know
Tents are large canvas structures on raised wooden platforms with colonial-style decor, mosquito nets, double showers, a veranda, and a private splash pool. Guests are welcomed with an a capella serenade by camp staff. All meals are shared at a long communal table with views of the lagoon.
