Safari Itinerary

OKAVANGO DELTA

On arrival in Maun, Botswana the guests will be met by a representative to assist them with their connection on to a light charter flight (scheduled service) to Oddballs’ Camp. On arrival at the airstrip, guests will be met and transferred by motorboat to Camp.

The camp is accessed by light aircraft only and is a 20-minute flight from Maun or a 50-minute flight from Kasane. It is 15-30 minutes from most other camps in the area. 

Oddballs' Camp is situated on the edge of Chief's Island, deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. 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.

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