Kanana Camp

Wrapped around a large strangler fig tree, Kanana's central area is raised on wooden stilts. It includes three open plan areas, two comfortably intimate lounges and a large central dining area. Here a bygone era meets contemporary African design, with old pictures and carved African masks lining the canvas walls while bright fabrics add a splash of colour. Sit in a safari chair around the fire pit outside or relax in a recliner next to the swimming pool.

There are seven large tents with king-sized or twin beds, and a family tent, all elevated off the ground. The en-suite has hot and cold running water, twin porcelain basins, brass finishes and matching mirrors. Enjoy all the essentials and more, with a standing fan, large mosquito net and private covered deck. This is the perfect place to drift off to sleep to the sounds of the bush.

Day and night game drives take centre stage here, offering truly phenomenal wildlife encounters. The big cats put on quite the show – expect thrilling lion and leopard sightings, while lucky visitors might spot the elusive wild dog packs that roam these plains. Bush walks provide a brilliant opportunity to explore the numerous islands dotting this stretch of wilderness, revealing the smaller wonders often missed from a vehicle.
