Three overnights at Oddballs Camp in a standard dome tent with private en-suite facilities inclusive of all meals and morning and afternoon walking and mokoro activities
Allegedly named after Oddball; a man who lived up to his name! Oddball's is a legend amongst travellers to Africa.
One of the original camping sites in the Okavango Delta Oddball's has 2m x 2m domed tents erected on raised wooden platforms, overlooking the floodplains and bush. There are a number of shower and toilet units scattered around the camp close to the tents - although perhaps not close enough at 3.00am with a Camp full of lion!!
For those seeking a bit more comfort, Oddballs has just one double bedded Chalet with en-suite facilities.
Whilst at Oddballs your meals are taken in the central dining area, directly overlooking the Boro River, and providing excellent game viewing whilst eating! There is a comfortable lounge area and a raised viewing platform right on the banks of the river. Hammocks are everywhere, and enable you to relax during the heat of the day whilst 'cramming up' on the wildlife and bird population from Oddball's extensive library.
What sets Oddball's apart from other safari lodges is the setting, the informality and above all the legendary 'skull bar', where you will be regaled with adventure stories which are surely amongst the 'tallest' in Africa!
Oddball's overlooks the Boro, one of the primary watercourses of the Okavango. Excursions, by foot and mokoro - the traditional dug-out canoe - are conducted in the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, with your own professional game-guide, a man of the swamps, completely at one with his environment. The Okavango Delta is a shifting web of crystal-clear channels, lagoons, sweeping floodplains and palm-studded islands. Home to over 450 bird and 1,000 plant species, crocodile, hippo, elephant, buffalo - in fact the full spectrum of African big-game and several species of antelope that are amongst the world's rarest - the Okavango has earned its reputation as one of the world's premier wilderness areas.
