Situated in the south-western Okavango Delta, Oddballs Camp is one of the original camping sites in the Okavango Delta. The camp is accessible by a 25-minute light aircraft flight from Maun. Oddballs camp is an affordable delta experience that suits the adventurous traveller or those just wishing to get away from it all.

Oddballs Camp accommodation consists of large walk- in tents erected on raised wooden platforms, overlooking the floodplains and bush. All tents have rustic, en-suite bathrooms with canvas walls, open air with bucket showers flush toilets. 

The central dining area directly overlooks the Boro River, providing excellent game viewing for guests. There is also a comfortable lounging area and a raised viewing platform with plenty of private and communal areas to relax and enjoy this beautiful area - barefoot, relaxed and informal. 

Days are spent in a relaxing manner with guests exploring the area by foot and mokoro - the traditional dug-out canoe. These excursions are conducted along the Boro River, one of the main channels of the Okavango Delta, and surrounding floodplains – water levels varying with the time of year. You enjoy guided walks on Chief’s Island in the beautiful Moremi Game Reserve, with a local professional guide who has grown up in the area and has an expert knowledge of the flora, fauna and culture of the delta region. The atmosphere is tranquil and undisturbed by engines thus offering a pure experience of the wilderness. 

An exciting further option from Oddballs Camp is to camp ’wild’ out in the delta on a mokoro trail (pre-bookings required and water level dependent) accompanied by your poler/guide. There is a provisions’ and camping equipment store at Oddballs and when you undertake a mokoro camping trail your food will be provided but you will be responsible for its preparation.
