Room on platform

The camp accommodates 28 guests in 14 3m x 3m canvas rooms (including two family units), thoughtfully created and set on elevated wooden decks shaded by the trees and canvas shelters. Beautiful outdoor showers and ablutions en-suite offer hot and cold running water for a traditional al-fresco bucket shower. A small deck offers a place to relax and view the stunning scenery.

Guided Walk

Oddballs’ offers an extraordinary value-for-money experience in the Okavango Delta. Activities are conducted by your own professional guide (a maximum of two guests per guide), a man of the swamp, born and bred in the area. No motorized activities are offered, with the emphasis on a quiet, slow, and intensely personal experience of the African bush.

Lodge main area

The bar and lounge areas at Oddballs’ Camp provide a great meeting place and somewhere to swap stories around the fire. There is a raised viewing deck that overlooks the sweep of the Delta – the perfect vantage point from which to watch the sun set over the palms and view whatever wildlife may be visiting.

Wildlife

Game of all sorts are abundant: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, hippopotamus, crocodile, giraffe, antelope including the rare lechwe, tsessesbe and sitatunga, otters, honey-badgers, the shy pangolin, the nearly extinct rhino and a variety of the smaller wild cats such as civets, servals and genets are amongst the many mammal species that visit the Delta. There are also reptiles – many species of snakes (most of them harmless), as well as several species of tortoise, terrapin, lizard, skinks, chameleon and gecko – not forgetting of course the Nile crocodile. Then of course there are the birds, well over 450 species, that bring the forests, rivers and flood-plains of the Okavango to life. Many rare and endangered species call the Okavango home, and birders come from all around the world in search of them.
