Kanana

About

Designed to provide an authentic yet comfortable safari experience, Kanana is shaded by a grove of ancient ebony and acacia trees. The camp embraces traditional safari charm, with a focus on intimate hospitality, personalised guiding, and a deep connection to the wilderness. Its location in a private concession allows for exclusive activities, including walking safaris and night drives, all delivered with the warmth and attention to detail that define the Kanana experience.

Rooms

Kanana features seven spacious, Meru-style tents built on raised teak platforms, each overlooking the water or surrounding bush. The tents are elegantly appointed with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, and both indoor and outdoor showers. A family tent with two bedrooms makes it ideal for small groups or families travelling together. The classic décor, wooden floors, and private verandas allow guests to unwind in quiet comfort while staying connected to the rhythm of the Delta.

Dining

Dining at Kanana is a relaxed and sociable affair, with meals served in the open-air dining area or under the stars beside the firepit. The camp’s talented chefs create fresh, wholesome dishes using locally sourced ingredients, complemented by fine South African wines. Morning coffees and evening sundowners in scenic locations round out the culinary experience, adding to the camp’s welcoming and unpretentious atmosphere.

Activity

Kanana offers a diverse mix of safari activities, including day and night game drives, guided bush walks, and mokoro excursions during the flood season. Boating safaris provide access to remote heronries and hidden channels teeming with birdlife, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. Wildlife sightings in the area are excellent, with opportunities to see lion, leopard, elephant, lechwe, and an array of water-dependent species, all guided by highly experienced and passionate guides.
