Read 1 traveller review of Kanana

Adjacent to Moremi Reserve, Kanana's environment is a mix of forests and open plains, combined with permanent channels and lush flood meadows. Lion and leopard are common, as are herds of elephant in the dry season, and several glades of tall acacia trees encourage graceful giraffe to stay in the vicinity.

Kanana is a lovely old-style camp with eight elevated tents. Here, at the end of 2001, a huge heronry was discovered - making this one of the Delta's best camps for bird-watchers. Expect clouds of open-billed storks, the Okavango's only known breeding site for pink-backed pelicans, together with large concentrations of yellow-billed and marabou storks, grey herons, ibises and assorted egrets. These attract predatory fish eagles and crocodiles creating a remarkable birding spectacle (best Sept-Nov).

Activities at all these camps include 4WD game drives, night drives, mokoro trips and sometimes motorboat excursions.
