Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Kanana Camp stand out from other luxury lodges in the Okavango Delta?

We love Kanana for its intimate feel and exceptional guiding. While many lodges offer luxury, Kanana's location in the Pom Pom Concession means you often have vast areas to yourselves, leading to truly private sightings. The blend of water and land activities here is also superb, from mokoro excursions gliding through papyrus channels to thrilling game drives.

When is the absolute best time to visit Kanana Camp for incredible wildlife viewing?

For us, the prime time is during the dry season, roughly May through October. This is when the floodwaters recede, concentrating game along the permanent water sources, making for spectacular viewing. However, the shoulder months of April and November can offer a beautiful balance of good game and fewer guests, with lush landscapes post-rain.

We're considering Kanana for a family safari. What should we expect regarding activities and suitability for children?

Kanana is a fantastic choice for families seeking a more immersive experience. They offer tailored family safaris, and while the walking safaris are typically for older children, the mokoro trips and game drives are usually suitable for younger ones. We found the staff incredibly accommodating, ensuring everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, has a memorable and safe adventure.

Beyond game drives, what unique experiences does Kanana Camp offer that we shouldn't miss?

You absolutely must experience a mokoro excursion at Kanana. Gliding silently through the Delta's waterways in a traditional dugout canoe is magical, offering a completely different perspective on the ecosystem and incredible birding opportunities. We also highly recommend the guided bush walks for a chance to appreciate the smaller details of the bush up close.

What is the general safety approach at Kanana Camp, especially concerning wildlife encounters?

Safety is paramount at Kanana, and their experienced guides are second to none. They maintain a respectful distance from wildlife and are expertly trained to handle any situation. You'll always be briefed on safety protocols, and we felt completely secure whether on a game drive, a walk, or simply relaxing at the lodge.
