Kanana
is a hidden jewel set on the Xudum River in the southwest Okavango.
The area encompasses a necklace of islands dotted with palms, figs, ebony and knob
thorn trees, and is home to myriad of birds, plants and animals. The nature of
the habitat means it is the perfect place to experience the diversity of
species found within the Okavango Delta.
Accommodation
At
Kanana Camp guests are accommodated in eight spacious, twin-bedded safari
‘Meru’ style tents, set on raised teak decks, offering breathtaking views
across the waterways. Dependent on the annual floods, the level of water
transforms this dry camp into a true water experience and in the early months
of the year you may actually enjoy the visible spectacle of the water rising
around the camp. All tents offer en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running
water, shower and flush toilet. The tents are well spaced affording privacy,
whilst still being within comfortable distance from the central dining and
lounge area.
Activities
Situated in a private concession a wide variety of
activities is available at Kanana Camp and the focus of activities varies with
the rising and falling levels of the Okavango Delta, your Professional guide
will assist you in planning your days to best explore the area. Game drives in specially designed vehicles in
the morning and late afternoon, into the evening on night drives. Alternatively
you may explore the crystal clear waterways by mokoro or powerboats, and enjoy
the magnificent variety of birds, plant and reptile species found in the area.
Of special note is the birding in the area, Kanana hosting a seasonal heronry
that teems with activity from July through to the summer months, a true highlight
at Kanana which converts all visitors to avid ‘twitchers’ at first sight.
Guided walks are highly recommended in this pretty area as well as fly or spin
fishing for tilapia, African pike and sharp tooth catfish.
