About Kanana Camp

Kanana Camp is a classic luxury tented camp set on a private concession along the Xudum River in the south-west Okavango Delta, owned and operated by Ker & Downey Botswana. Refurbished in early 2025, the camp beautifully captures the essence of a vintage Okavango safari with its blend of authenticity and stylish comfort. Eight spacious tented suites (including one family tent) on raised teak decks offer breathtaking views across the delta's waterways. En-suite bathrooms feature large walk-in showers and luxurious fittings. The camp is surrounded by a necklace of islands dotted with palms, figs, ebony and knobthorn, and is home to a myriad of birds, plants, and animals. Kanana hosts a seasonal heronry — one of the largest in the Okavango Delta — teeming with activity from August through summer, making it particularly popular with birdwatchers. Awarded five-star status by the Botswana Tourism Board and voted 'Best Community Focused Safari Property in Africa' (Safari Awards 2014), Kanana offers game drives, mokoro excursions, motorboat cruises, guided walks, fishing, and a celebrated sleep-out experience.
