King's Pool Camp Chobe National Park In the heart of the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve between the Okavango and Chobe regions lies the King's Pool Camp, arguably one of the most luxurious camps in southern Africa. The source of the Savuti Channel is within the reserve, which means that there is always a sizable population of game attracted to the water, especially in the dry months. King's Pool is also well known for its large elephant population - in winter, there can be several thousand elephants roaming through the reserve. King's Pool has only nine thatch-roofed suites, each with a large bedroom, sala, plunge pool, lounge, and outdoor shower, and all offer a prime view of the lagoon from their deck. One of the best features of King's Pool is the "hide," a hidden spot where guests can spend hours watching animals at the watering hole.		Chief's Camp Moremi Game Reserve Chief's Camp prides itself on being a "traditional" safari lodge, meaning that guests will want for absolutely nothing during their stay at this renowned luxury camp. Twelve deluxe bush pavilions guarantee comfort with en-suite bathrooms, private balconies, and ceiling fans, and are decorated in a subdued but elegant style that complements the natural surroundings. The camp is located on Chief's Island in the Mombo concession of the Moremi Game Reserve, a predator-rich area -- and the only place in Botswana where white rhino can be seen in their natural habitat -- that nearly guarantees excellent game viewing. The professional guides on staff are considered among the best in Botswana.
Vumbura Plains Safari Camp Okavango Delta On a private concession in the extreme north of the Okavango Delta, the 12 camps of Vumbura are linked by a raised walkway. The interiors of the rooms are bright, with unexpectedly modern lines that provide a nice contrast to the landscape; each room has its own dining area, lounge, and plunge pool. The area attracts both wetland and savannah wildlife, and is one of the few camps where guests can spot the elusive red lechwe. The camp overlooks a vast floodplain, and boating, walks, and mokoro rides give guests an opportunity to enjoy the delta from a different perspective. The birding and game viewing at Vumbura Plains are considered excellent year-round.		Chobe Chilwero Chobe River On the borders of the famed Chobe National Park are a series of luxury cottages that blend flawlessly into the local wilderness. This is one of the great game viewing realms of Africa, and Chobe Chilwero's elegance is the perfect compliment to its natural setting. Each cottage contains both a lounge and bedroom, and is surrounded by a private garden and verandah. Wash off the dust of the day in a sunken bath. A full range of amenities allow you to experience the park on a game drive, relax by the pool, or reflect on your day over an evening drink by the open fire, overlooking the surrounding plains and river.
Jao Camp Okavango Delta In a private reserve in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta lies Jao Camp, a cluster of nine private thatched tents raised up on polished wooden decks. Beneath the overhanging canopy of trees, the deluxe canvas-walled tents feature en-suite facilities, private salas for resting, and an unobstructed view of the expansive landscape. Jao Camp is highly regarded for the lovely architecture of the camp and because the land on the reserve ranges from dry Kalahari to the marshy Okavango waterways, giving guests a more varied experience. Game drives and water-based activities like mokoro outings take up the bulk of the day, and upon returning to camp, guests can take a dip in the pool, enjoy a massage, and then dine in the outdoor boma at night. The open-air common lounge showcases an impressive collection of African art and artifacts, and the elegant setting is a comfortable place to relax and mingle with other guests.		Mombo Safari Camp Moremi Game Reserve Because of shifting conditions on the floodplains, Mombo Safari Camp sometimes occupies its own private island and, at other times, is part of Chief's Island. The remote location and resident game make this area a top Botswana destination choice for documentary filmmakers, and guests to this lovely, picturesque area will quickly understand why. Mombo's nine luxurious tented rooms are raised up off the ground, resulting in superior views of the floodplain that stretches in front of them. The main living area is under thatch and elevated walkways connect the communal areas to the tented guest rooms. A plunge pool is available for those who wish to use it. Large concentrations of the big predators in this region of the Okavango Delta mean satisfying twice-daily game viewing excursions.
