7 Nights Botswana COMFORT SAFARI PACKAGE

Oddballs' is situated on the edge of Chief's Island, deep in the heart of the Okavango, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. The camp is accessible by light aircraft only. On arrival, you are met at the airstrip by your personal guide and welcomed to the island. He remains your guide for the duration of your stay.

Accommodation is in simple, comfortable canvas 3m x 3m rooms (including two family units) set on elevated wooden decks, each with a view of the surrounding bush, and shaded by canvas shelters. Each tent has its own rustic en-suite facilities including hot and cold running water for the al fresco bucket shower – in true safari style.

Oddballs’ offers no motorised activities. Each guide has his own mokoro (pl. mekoro), (the genuine wooden article, not the plastic replica), in which he’ll take you gliding through the Okavango to nearby islands, where he’ll walk you through magnificent scenery to view game, birds, insects, medicinal plants, tracks, signs, droppings, and other fascinating natural phenomena.

Our guides are locals - this is a man of the swamp, born and raised in the area, and you will spend your days walking under his guidance on some of the many islands in the area, taking in the magnificent scenery and light as well as the abundant game and bird-life of the Okavango.

Cultural interaction at an authentic baYei village

For guests staying a minimum of four nights, Oddballs’ Camp also offers privately guided overnight camping trails by mokoro, for a minimum of two nights – although they recommend three or more to get the best out of this unique safari. The trails are amongst the most sought-after wilderness experiences in the world today, offering an opportunity to experience life in serenity and on its own terms in a way not easily achieved in the modern world.

Elephant Pan revels in its location, tucked deep within the sandy mopane forests of the drier interior of Khwai Private Reserve. This laid-back camp sits beside a busy waterhole that draws wildlife throughout the day, giving guests a front-row seat to the action. If you’ve always wanted to get up close to ellies, this is the place. Stylishly simple in design, the camp offers eight canvas tents overlooking the bustling waterhole. Mornings begin with the sound of elephants trumpeting as you open your tent flaps, afternoons are spent watching herds splash and snort in the shallows, and evenings unfold around the camp fire. This isn’t a place for opulence or extravagance. Elephant Pan is a private corner of big-game Africa where the wildlife encounters are authentic, intimate and always wild.
