Kanana Camp is set on the Xudum river deep in the southern part of the Okavango Delta The Kanana concession encompasses a necklace of islands dotted with fig, palm and other trees. Kanana Camp has been recently rebuilt and accomodation is in eight spacious twin-bedded Bedouin-style tents with wooden floors and sewn-in windows. These are set on raised wooden decks with glorious delta views. The spacious en-suite bathrooms have double basins, shower and flush toilet with outdoor showers added soon. The raised dining and sitting areas form a semi-circle around a massive fig tree which gives a lush feel to the lodge. There's also a swimming pool available for those warm Okavango days.
Activities at Kanana camp are varied. The idyllic hillock of islands formed by fertile eroded termite hills makes for exciting game walks and the concession also offers some of the best mekoro and boating excursions in the Delta. Boating and mekoro trips are the ideal way to sample the excellent birdlife in the area. One of the Southern Hemisphere's most active breeding heronies is on the Kanana concession (with breeding occurring in the spring/summer months from July onwards). The elusive Pel's fishing owl may be spotted if you are lucky. Spin fishing for tilapia, pike or the sharp tooth catfish is also on offer (with equipment available) with the best months being September through to May. However you can also explore the area on day and night drives in open 4x4 vehicles throughout the year.
