Kanana Mokoro Trails is one of the Okavango Delta's hidden gems. Opened in 2007, and spearheaded by Dougie Wright, one of Ker and Downey's directors, Kanana Mokoro Trails is a light weight camp set on its own private 2 acre island, surrounded by trees, plains and wetland.
Kanana Mokoro Trail is a comfortable camp within the private Kanana concession which accommodates up to 4 guests in two specially designed twin-bedded bow mosquito-proof tents. Each tent has its own bucket shower and bush toilet. The camp includes the services of two professional guides, a personal chef, waiter, housekeeper and dedicated Mokoro guide.
Make no mistake the camp is not luxurious but what it lacks in ‘gold tap’ luxury it more than makes up for in a sense of adventure and freedom of spirit. After the fixed routines of many of the larger, more permanent camps, Kanana Mokoro Trails is a breath of fresh air.

Despite the basic nature of Kanana Mokoro Trails, the service and catering is excellent, and the guiding second to none. The food is cooked and served a la bush, and is served at the table, in three courses plus wine, beer or spirits.

Briefly, the trails last 3 days. Guests are flown in and embark from Kanana Camp. They are met on the island by the trails team - chef, guides, waiter, mokoro pilots and housekeeper - and introduced to the immediate habitat. Day 2 is spent in the mokoros, exploring the delta, and on day 3 guests return to Kanana Camp. Please therefore be advised that activities are focused on the mokoros, which are used to look for, among other Delta residents, the elusive Sitatunga (a rare, semi aquatic antelope) and Pel’s Fishing owl.
