Overview
About Oddballs Camp
Oddballs Camp sits on an island beside Chief's Island in the Okavango Delta, reached only by light aircraft. Canvas tents stand on raised wooden decks beneath mature trees, with outdoor bucket showers and views into the surrounding bush. Days centre on privately guided walks and water-dependent mokoro excursions, rather than vehicle safaris. Meals are shared around a communal table, with a bar and lounge for evenings back at camp. There is no Wi-Fi or air conditioning. It suits travellers who prefer a simple camp and time on foot to a hotel-style safari.
“We love the emphasis on private guiding, walking and quiet mokoro outings. This is a strong fit for travellers who value time in the bush, shared meals and simple tented comfort over Wi-Fi and air conditioning.”
