An Enchanting Location This region of the Delta is very stunning. Lions and leopards are often sighted on walks and on a couple of occasions they have also been spotted walking through the camp itself. Even the rare Pel's fishing owl is seen rather regularly.
Kanana Camp (Setswana for 'paradise') is located in the remote inner reaches of the Delta, in an excellent walking and mokoro area.
Accommodations The 8 tents, accommodating 16 guests, are all provided with private en-suite bathroom with hot and cold running water, a lavatory, a shower and flush toilet. Like the common facilities of the camp, they are built on stilts to ensure a good view of the floodplains for all guests. The main dining area, also on a stilt, offers, beside an enchanting panorama, imaginative table settings and delicious meals, prepared by experienced safari chefs.
Activities By game viewing on foot and by mokoro - followed by a pleasant picnic in the bush - you do not have the noise of the vehicle and therefore you will experience the very true essence of the bush. You will be at one with nature without the intrusion of man. There will be just the sounds of the bush and your footfalls on the earth. The silence will help your ears to pick up the previously unheard sounds of the bush, usually hidden by the mechanical hum of the car.
Game drives on 4 x 4 vehicles and motorboat excursions to the Xo Lagoon are offered when the lagoon is in flood. Also, Kanana has its own airstrip nearby the camp.
Kanana camp is one of the few camps in the Okavango Delta to have an exclusive heronry where many migratory water birds come to have their young from July onwards. This is a very important nesting site for these birds: yellow-billed stork, marabou, cormorant, darter, slaty egret and openbill stork, besides the already mentioned rare Pel's fishing owl.
A wide variety of game frequent regularly the islands around Kanana camp, including impala, lechwe, leopard, lion, elephant, hyena and civet among the others. The chance of sighting leopard at Kanana is very high! During the 2003 season, there were only 16 days where leopard was NOT sighted at the camp !
