Is the Kanana for Me?

Located in the southwestern Okavango Delta, Kanana sits on the banks of the Xudum River within a private concession. You’ll find yourself surrounded by a necklace of palm-dotted islands and evergreen riverine woodlands that support exceptional wildlife diversity. The area is home to the Delta’s largest heronry, where thousands of aquatic birds gather annually to breed.

Recently refurbished, the camp accommodates just 16 guests across eight tented suites, including one family suite. Each landscape-facing tent features private outdoor decks with uninterrupted wilderness views and ensuite bathrooms with one-way glass showers. You can enjoy Delta vistas while maintaining complete privacy from your accommodations.

The main lodge offers multiple lounge areas where you can relax between activities, alongside a floodplain-facing swimming pool perfect for cooling off during warmer months. An expansive outdoor fireplace provides a gathering spot for evening storytelling, whilst the live cooking station with a wood-fired pizza oven adds an interactive dining element to your stay.

Kanana provides year-round land-based activities complemented by seasonal water adventures through pristine Delta channels. The camp suits wildlife enthusiasts, families seeking authentic safari experiences, birdwatchers drawn to the remarkable heronry, and couples desiring intimate luxury in untouched wilderness.
