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.
