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!!
The only way to get to Oddball's is by light aircraft,
so being limited to 12Kg of baggage means that Oddballs
supply all your camping equipment for you both at Oddballs
itself and for your Mokoro Trails.
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.
During your stay at Oddball's, you will have the opportunity
to go out on Mokoro
Trail. The first and last nights will be spent
at Oddballs , and for the middle nights you take your
guide and mokoro into the Okavango to camp out wherever
you find yourselves - a wilderness experience par excellence.
'Molly's', the provisions store at Oddball's will provide
you with camping equipment, food and all the 'little
necessities' of bush camping! Your Guide will find
a suitable campsite on the banks of the river and build
the fire for you. Whilst on Mokoro Trail your food
will be provided but you will be responsible for its
preparation.
The combination of Oddballs and a Mokoro Trail provides
the best overall 'Okavango Experience' for those who
don't mind roughing-it a little.
More than a place to stay, more than a base from which
to explore the Delta, Oddball's is Africa's ultimate
state of mind.
