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.
