Accommodation is in dome tents, fully equipped, and set on elevated wooden decks shaded by reed shelters. These tents are indeed the same tents used by most mobile operators in Botswana. Beautiful outdoor showers and ablutions are shared.
The bar and lounge area has comfortable seating, and a raised viewing deck overlooking the sweep of the delta – the perfect place to watch the sun set over the palms, and view whatever wildlife may be visiting. Meals are simple, yet wholesome and enjoyed in the main complex.

Activities are conducted by your own professional guide (a maximum of two guests per guide), a man of the swamp, born and bred. He has a mokoro (dug-out canoe) in which he will take you to nearby islands, where you will walk to view game and the spectacular landscape that is the Okavango. It might also be possible to visit his village, meet the elders and perhaps his family. Subject to water levels, it is also possible to go camping.
For guests staying for four nights Oddballs can offer a two night camp out. All equipment and provisions are packed into your mokoro as you set off with your guide for an unforgettable wilderness experience. Camping equipment is provided, though it is suggested that you bring your own sleeping bag.
Oddballs caters for the young and young at heart and undoubtedly represents the best value for money camp in the Okavango Delta. A relaxed camp with a great reputation.
