King’s Pool Camp

Chobe National Park


Occupying a magical setting on a Linyanti River oxbow overlooking a lagoon, this nine-room camp, part of Wilderness Safaris' Premier collection, is one of the most luxurious properties in Linyanti, with private plunge pools in the very large rooms. Accommodation is in private thatched chalets with modern four-poster beds and there's fabulous wildlife in the area.

This place almost prides itself on being noisy – you will almost certainly be woken up by the nearby hippos, elephants, baboons and lions. Night drives are a highlight, as is the in-camp birding, while a sundowner on the two-tiered, colonial-style Queen Sylvia barge is the height of sophistication. There are no bad choices here…
