Nestled in a valley in the southern section of the Reserve, Izingwe (a Zulu word meaning “leopard”) offers the ultimate in exclusive luxury getaways. With three guest villas and a main lodge, the Lodge accepts only single party bookings, thereby assuring exclusivity both at the Lodge and on safari. With a watering hole sited just 100 yards from the door of the Main Lodge, it is common to see warthogs, zebra, baboons and other game animals gathered there. A special viewing space, called the “Hide,” is located next to the boma for close-up animal watching and photography.
Izingwe Lodge is always staffed with a full time chef, safari guide and housekeeping personnel. Your safari guide has 20 years’ experience and is especially passionate about Lions and the art of tracking them. Guests learn to identify the tracks and other signs so they may participate in the tracking process. Elephants, white rhino, giraffe and other hooved animals are seldom far from the Lodge.
Game drives usually occur in the early morning and late afternoon/evening when the animals are the most active and visible. Morning game drives are followed by a healthy and hearty breakfast, and afternoon game drives include a stop for ‘sundowners’ (cocktails) and snacks while guests take in the breathtaking sunset as it spreads across the mountains and plains.The evening meal is typically served in the boma, an outdoor dining area, around a welcoming fire. Izingwe Lodge is known for its fresh, healthy home-style meals.
In addition to game viewing, guests may spend time in the well-equipped gym, relaxing beside the Main Lodge swimming pool, or reading on the private sala (outdoor lounge area) just off their villa’s balcony.

Wilderness King's Pool consistently delivers the best dry season game viewing in far northern Botswana. Situated on the border with Namibia’s Caprivi Strip, Wilderness King's Pool is in an area vital to the seasonal movements of elephant herds, and to the survival of rare roan and sable antelope. Looking down over the Linyanti River, and up from the safety of sunken hides gives guests unexpected angles from which to witness great wildlife moments.
Seven well-appointed twins and one family unit, all of canvas, wood and thatch, soak up the views of the lagoon. The main area, deck and bar offer uninterrupted views, with closer proximity to the water, while parts of the roof extend down to ensure privacy.
INSIDER'S TIP: Special highlights include sundowners on the Queen Silvia barge and time out at the unique underground hide!
