Bruce Cantle, Managing Guide for Ker Downey Botswana, has known that there was a heronry in the Kanana area for some time, but on investigation by a KDB team with the help of Northern Air, they found not only the small heronry they were looking for but also a much larger one (as large as the one at Gadikwe) in the Kanana concession area and EXCLUSIVE to Kanana Camp. Bruce is busy working on routes to travel there as well as planning a site for clients to best view the unfolding scene. Bruce reports that many birds are breeding: Yellow Bill Stork, Marabou, and Open Bill Stork, Darters, Cormorants and Egrets. During the 2002 season, there were only 16 days that leopard was NOT sighted at Kanana ! There are getting regular sightings of Pels Fishing Owl and lion at present and guests have seen Civet and hyena.

The camp comprises eight large twin-bedded safari style tents with teak decking and private en suite bathroom, built on plinths, overlooking the Delta. The common facilities of the camps are also built up on stilts overlooking these floodplains. The area is an excellent walking and mokoro area.

By game viewing on foot and by mokoro, you do not have the noise of the vehicle and therefore will experience the bush in it's true form. You will be at one with nature without the intrusion of man. There will be just the sounds of the bush and your footfalls on the earth. The silence will help your ears to pick-up the previously unheard sounds of the bush usually hidden by the mechanical hum of the car. You are on their ground on their terms! Motorboat excursions to the Xo Lagoon is offered when the lagoon is in flood and game viewing in 4 x 4 vehicles is also available.
