General information

Kanana Camp (Setswana word for paradise) is located in the remote inner reaches of the Okavango Delta. A hidden jewel, the ambience in the camp depicts an era of bygone colonialism. Set in idyllic surrounds amongst fig and palm trees providing much needed shade overlooking seasonal floodplains.

Kanana Camp accommodates a maximum of 16 people in luxury tents, all raised to afford excellent views of the surrounding area. The common facilities of the camps are also built up on stilts overlooking these floodplains. Kanana Camp is built among spectacular shade trees of Ebony, Knob Thorn Acacia and the Sausage Tree.

The area is an excellent walking and Mokoro area. While game viewing in 4x4 vehicles is available and very popular, one can best experience this region by viewing game on foot or by gliding silently through the delta by Mokoro canoe. It is a moving and incredible experience which draws you intimately into nature in its purest form.

Kanana camp is one of the few lucky 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 and one of the few in the Delta

Mokoro Excursion

Within this private concession area lies some of the best opportunities in the Delta for exploration by mokoro (traditional canoe), and this is an ideal way to experience over four hundred bird species found in the Okavango, not to mention the most exciting method of finding the elusive sitatunga, a rarely seen water living antelope, related to the bushbuck and nyala.
