    On arrival in Maun, you will take a small charter flight into the Okavango Delta and the Khwai area, nestled between Moremi and Savuti. Given Nokanyana Camp’s location in the Khwai River region, wildlife encounters are a highlight. Spend 3 nights at Nokanyana Camp and enjoy daily game drives.


    Extending from the Okavango River, the Khwai River forms part of the Northern border of Moremi. Nokanyana overlooks the spot where the Khwai and Mababe Rivers join, creating a beautiful environment. These are vital water sources for animals like elephant, waterbuck, red lechwe, giraffe, kudu and zebra. This attracts the predators that follow in their wake including lion, leopard, and hyena. Frequent wild dog sightings add to the excitement.
