Located in the remote inner reaches of the Okavango Delta is a place of luxury and serinity called Kanana Camp. Here 8 deluxe luxury tents provide exclusive accommodation for 16 guests. Each is built on stilts so as to provide the best possible view of the surrounding delta. This is true also for the common areas such as the dining area which is raised on decking surrounding and encircling an ancient and massive fig tree.

The staff are incredibly well trained, friendly and accommodating, they really do make you feel at home. To match the views from the dining area is the great cuisine on offer, from fresh baked bread every morning to sumptious decadent evening feasts.

Secluded and exclusive 'paradise' in the Okavango Delta

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.

Besides the elephant, a wide variety of other game frequent the life giving force of the delta, including impala, lechwe, hippo, crocodile and lion. 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. The birds you are likely to see roosting here are the yellow bill stork, marabou, open bill stork, darters cormorants and slate egrets. Kanana Camp is now regularly reporting sightings of the rare Pels fishing owl in addition to hyena, which has also become a rare sighting in this area. Even more rare are the Situanga, which live in swamps and are very good swimmers. They may take to the water to evade predators such as leopards or wild dogs, lying submerged in pools with only their nostrils above the surface.
