On arrival in Maun, Botswana you will be met by a representative to assist you with your connection on to a light charter flight to Kanana, a short flight of about 20 minutes. Your guide will be waiting on arrival and will transfer your to camp, a game drive of about 25 minutes, depending on sightings along the way.

After some refreshments and having been introduced to the camp and team your guide will discuss the environment around Kanana and the activities available - morning, afternoon and evening game drives, walking, boating and mokoro rides. As you talk about your particular interests you will begin to discuss your activities for the days ahead – your guide will help you ensure you make the most of your time at Kanana. After tea and cake you head out on your first afternoon activity, perhaps a game drive or a boat safari along the river. Toasting the sunset you return to camp for dinner and your first night in the Okavango.

The next morning you wake early with your choice of hot drink delivered to your tent, followed by a light breakfast. This is your first full day at Kanana and offers you the chance to explore the concession with game drives or some of the other wonderful activities.

Setting off straight after breakfast to catch the best of the game viewing while the predators are still active you will search for signs of the events from the night before. Game drives usually last around 4 hours, returning for a hearty brunch followed by a siesta for a few hours. A chance to enjoy your beautiful rooms with private deck or swim in the pool. Meeting again for tea you then set out on your afternoon activity. Stopping of sundowners as the sun sinks below the horizon and the nocturnal animals begin to stir you will then start your return to camp with a spot light – look out for cats as they begin their hunting and those smaller nocturnal animals which we rarely see without the spotlight like genet, bush babies and caracals.

The next day is your second full day in Kanana and offers you the chance to explore deeper into the concession with game drives or some of the other wonderful activities.
