Questions about Kanana
What is a glass-bottomed mokoro?
A traditional dugout canoe with a clear panel in the base, which lets you look down into the underwater world of the Delta as you are poled along. Kanana is one of the few camps offering them. Walking with expertly trained and armed guides and fishing from March to December, with basic equipment supplied, are also on offer.
Is this a good camp for birders?
Among the best in the region. Kanana has exclusive motorboat access to Southern Africa's largest heronries, and Pel's fishing owl is seen regularly.
