Kanana means ‘paradise’ in Setswana and it’s not difficult to see why. Apart from fantastic game viewing (wandering lions in the camp during the night and adventurous lions climbing trees, leopards sleeping peacefully, elephants trumpeting in the distance, various antelope grazing in the fields – to name but a few) there is also a heronry close to Kanana camp, which is a dream come true for all bird lovers.
Leopard and lion sightings have been fantastic at Kanana throughout the winter months, and particularly good during August.
Sightings at Kanana have been exceptional of late, with predators featuring regularly on most of our trips. A pride of eight lions – three male, five female – have been making their way in and out of the area around Pom Pom, and crossing the river at the Pontoon where the water is extremely deep.
Guests arriving at Shinde’s airstrip this morning received an unexpected welcome when their guide, Bee, took them directly to investigate an “interesting sound” he had heard before the plane had landed.
