One Upon arrival at Maun airport you will be met by a company representative
for your light aircraft charter transfer flight to Oddballs Camp. Oddballs' is
situated on the edge of Chief's Island, deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta.
The camp is accessible by light aircraft only. On arrival you will be met at the

tents are the same tents used by most mobile operators in Botswana. Beautiful
outdoor showers and ablutions are shared. The bar and lounge areas have comfortable
seating, and a raised viewing deck overlooks the sweep of the delta - the perfect
place to watch the sun set over the palms, and view whatever wildlife may be visiting.

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

or more, Oddballs' offers camping trails. 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 in the Okavango Delta. A relaxed camp with
