In-Depth Information
oxbow overlooking a lagoon, this nine-room camp is one of the most luxurious properties
in Linyanti, with private plunge pools in the rooms and an overall stunning attention to
detail and service. Accommodation at King's Pool is in private thatched chalets featuring
indoor and outdoor showers. This place almost prides itself on being noisy - you will al-
most certainly be woken up by the nearby hippos, elephants, baboons and lions.

The name means 'open plains', which is what you get in terms of a view, along
with dense game concentrations, a commitment to multiple game drives and excellent
bushwalks. The grasslands eventually give way to the marshlands of Linyanti, which con-
ceal abundant birdlife. The eight rooms, with open-air bathrooms, are large and, as you'd
expect, supremely comfortable.

Overlooking a lagoon (just to be different) is this series of luxury tents, which looks
out over flood plains and river tracks thick with wild dogs, lions and buffaloes. Fishing
trips and evening boat cruises are available. There are fine views from many vantage
points, not least some of the free-standing bathtubs.

This vintage-style East African nine-person camp
is the simplest and most affordable of the four camps, though it is still luxurious by any
stretch of the imagination.

Getting There & Away
From the south, the track from Savuti is a hard slog of deep sand. The track running east
towards Kachikau (where it meets the sealed road to Kasane) is only slightly better.
Most guests choose to fly into their camp on a chartered flight from Maun or Kasane.
