Situated in the heart of Botswana's Okavango Delta, adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve, Kanana Camp nestles among towering jackalberry (ebony) trees, knobthorn acacias and sausage trees on the edge of a permanent stretch of channel.
The 8 deluxe luxury style tents (accommodating 16 guests) are built on stilts to insure a good view of the floodplains for all guests. Each tent is built on decks overlooking the Delta, with windows to take full advantage of this setting. The tents stand amongst spectacular shade trees of ebony, knobthorn acacia and the sausage tree. The bathrooms have hot and cold running water (24 hours), a shower and a flush toilet.
Kanana's environment is a mix of forests and open seasonal floodplains, combined with permanent channels and lush flood meadows – and it's this mix which leads to it being able to offer a very full range of activities.

Large, structured tents raised on wooden decks. Each chalet is constructed around a solid frame of thick wooden beams, around which thick canvas is stretched, giving the feel of a much more substantial wall. We found that although the chalets are not much to look at from the outside, the interiors are spacious, airy and quite attractive.
At the front of each chalet is a shaded deck with two comfortable wooden chairs. The front 'wall' is almost fully meshed, with sliding doors. This, together with the high roof and mesh windows running along either side, lends an open and airy feel to the rooms.
Taking centre stage in each chalet are three-quarter-size twin beds – which can be made into a double on request – beneath a large walk-in mosquito net. On the writing/vanity table is information about the camp and area, and a canvas wardrobe incorporates a small electronic safe and a luggage rack. On the opposite side of the room are a couple of armchairs and a floor-standing fan. We particularly loved the colourful cushions, rugs and throws, which add brightness and warmth, and the added touch of a tin of homemade biscuits.
Kanana Camp's main lounge and dining area is an interesting and very open design, raised on decks around an impressive ancient strangler fig tree which grows up through the middle of the main area. This open-sided structure is essentially split into three sections, including two comfortable seating areas with sofas and a selection of coffee-table books.
