Kings Pool Camp Kings Pool Camp

The luxury accommodations of Kings Pool Camp rest on the banks of Botswana's Liyanti River, affording spectacular close-ups of elephant herds that come to frolic and quench their thirst.

Everyone knows elephants never forget, but after a few days in Botswana's Kings Pool Camp, you'll realize the greater truth might be that, they, in turn, can never be forgotten.

Why see elephants at the zoo, standing around, not doing much? Why not see them in their natural habitat, watching them play in a beloved lagoon that's part of their home?

At Kings Pool Camp, you don't just watch elephants - you watch active elephant families, and believe it, there's a world of difference. Whether you study them from above on viewing decks or safely in an underground hide with your eyes at their feet, you'll be captivated by their behavior and obvious intelligence.

Every morning and evening, guides herd you enthusiastically into open 4x4s to show you the dynamic local wildlife, which include cheetah, lions, giraffes, leopards, and wild dog. Under the right conditions, riverboat cruises are also available, allowing for fantastic birding and the occasional crocodile sighting.
