Hi All,

Another year has flown past and it's time to start looking at the 2015 hunting season - we've changed things up a bit and put together some new exciting packages for 2015, as below.

If none of the packages appeal to you then please get in contact with us to put together a customised package for you.

Hunting can be done by either bow or rifle. Kanana is 100 000 Acres of privately owned game farm situated in pristine Kalahari Bushveld roughly 250km SW of Maun, Botswana. The hunts will be conducted by myself or one of our excellent PH's. We also have 2 neighbours that have kindly allowed us to hunt their properties should we want a change of scenery Smiler this gives us an extra 100 000 acres of additional hunting space and even more game to add to our already incredible game numbers and exceptional trophy quality. Please have a look under the hunt reports for pictures and stories from hunters that have previously hunted with us.

All accommodation is full board in Motswiri Lodge - our luxury tented safari camp situated in the heart of Kanana Wilderness.

The packages are as follows:

PACKAGE 1

2 Hunters and 1 PH

4 Trophies per Hunter, 7 hunting days

1 x Kudu
1 x Eland
1 x Gemsbok

Hi All,



The rumors are true I’m afraid. The Directors of Kanana have decided to sell and as inferred above in the excerpt from the Directors email, we have decided not to operate next year in case of a quick sale and handover.



My apologies for not letting everyone know sooner but our first obligation was to inform our booking agents and our clients that had booked with us for 2015 and offer them the option of moving their booked Safaris with us to Tholo Safaris. (As an aside, it is amazing how small, close knit and how quickly information spreads within the hunting fraternity, a definite plus in most circumstances.)



Personally I will be marketing and hunting for Tholo Safaris, an outstanding operation that the Eaton family have owned and operated for many, many years. For some more information about Tholo Safaris please visit www.tholosafarisbotswana.com , I implore anybody that was considering hunting at Kanana in the future to please consider coming to hunt with us at Tholo! We also have a few other exciting developments in the pipeline that I will disclose as soon as the details have been finalized, keep an eye on this space



For the next couple of months as we wind things down my email will remain the same, Jason@kanan.info but thereafter it will be easier to email me at jbbridger@gmail.com for the interim. My cell number will remain +26772302882 for any body that would like to call or message.

I will be at the Dallas Safari Club Convention, Houston Safari Club Convention and at the SCI Convention in Jan/Feb if anybody would like to meet up!

I'm sure I see some of you at the AR get together as well. My US number is 214-499-8586 .


To those of you that hunted with us at Kanana, I wish to thank you sincerely for all the support and for all the great memories we forged at Kanana and I certainly hope we get to create some new exciting ones, albeit at a different venue!


Yours in hunting



Jason

p.s. Just to quash any rumours before they start, the decision to sell certainly wasn't due to lack of business.

Hopefully the ranch will remain in conservation/wildlife with the new owners and not converted to cattle,

We hoped to go hunting at Kanana for up to 3 weeks with 2 adults and 3-4 children all hunting a few years from now.
