Attractions
Most of the area is characterised by open
grassland, riverine forest, mixed terminalia
and mopane savannas. The area is most noted
for its very large elephant populations, which
can reach enormous densities in the winter
months. Impala, Lechwe, Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe,
Sitatunga. Sable, Roan, Waterbuck, Buffalo,
Bushbuck and the smaller antelope are all
found here. The major predators such as Lion,
Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Hyena are resident
and regularly sighted. The reed and papyrus
swamps are ideal for numerous and diverse
species
of birds, ranging from the Fish Eagle
to waterfowl, Stilts, Storks, Plovers and
Herons. One of the camp's highlights are the
wildlife sounds: very few camps in Africa
are noisier! The pre~dawn chorus of bird song
starts off the morning. Hippos grunt and snort
all day, Baboons bark and screech, Elephants
wander through camp and trumpet, and Lions
often roar around the camp at night!
Facilities
Accommodation is in ten upmarket tented rooms
with en-suite facilities which are possibly
the best appointed bathrooms in Botswana.
Each room is built on a raised teak deck with
wonderful views onto the Kings Pool Lagoon.
This waterway has great birdlife. Hippos,
Crocodiles, Bushbuck, Impala, Elephant and
Sable are all seen from the rooms on a regular
basis. The tents have been designed to ensure
that each guest is totally comfortable and
private, while at the same time offering all
the atmosphere of a tented camp in Africa.
There is one honeymoon suite which is under
thatch. Each en-suite bathroom has wonderful
views overlooking the King Pool Lagoon. They
are tiled and have showers. toilets and hand
basins. The main lounge, pub and dining room
are under thatch. There is a swimming pool
built into the decking.
Additional Information
The private reserve borders onto Chobe
National Park but the activities here
are not limited to the rules and regulations
of Chobe. We can therefore offer game drives
in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives and walks.
In addition, the lodge has a double-decker
boat which cruises the Linyanti River, offering
wonderful opportunities to view game and birds
from the water. There are also a number of
great hides in the area.
