Kanana Camp is set in the southwestern reaches of the Okavango Delta, where lush grass-covered islands rise from fertile, eroded termite mounds. This area, northeast of the Pom Pom lagoon, is crisscrossed by the meandering channels of the Xudum River. It’s a spectacularly scenic corner of the delta, marked by open lagoons, reed-fringed waterways, and a scattering of fig, palm, and jackalberry trees. The environment is constantly shifting with the water levels, creating a dynamic safari experience where land and water activities alternate with the seasons. 

The camp features eight large safari-style tents, including a family unit, all built to blend seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation. Shaded by ebony, acacia, and sausage trees, the tents are well-spaced for privacy, with en-suite bathrooms. Raised wooden decks offer guests peaceful views of the surrounding bush and channels, making each tent a quiet, immersive hideaway. 

The main area is built on raised decking that wraps around ancient trees, creating a natural and inviting space to relax between activities. Guests can gather in the open-sided lounge or enjoy meals in the dining area, with a cocktail bar and plunge pool completing the relaxed and sociable atmosphere. 

Activities at Kanana vary with the seasons and include day and night game drives, mokoro excursions, boating, guided walks, fishing, and sunset cruises. The camp also has access to a seasonal heronry, one of the delta’s rare birding treasures, where thousands of water birds—such as storks and Pel’s Fishing Owl—nest from July onwards. 

For a truly memorable experience, guests staying two nights or more between April and November can pre-book the sleepout deck (at a surcharge) and spend a night under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the delta.
