“Rust, simplicity, wilderness, palm trees, and mokoros. At Oddballs Camp, you learn to listen to the bush.”

Oddballs Camp is located on the edge of Chief’s Island, deep in the Okavango Delta, near the Moremi Game Reserve. This is not a luxury lodge; it is a place for those who want to experience safari without frills but with a big heart for nature and adventure. Small tents on wooden decks, campfires under the stars, and wildlife walking right by your veranda. Pure safari.

Intimate & adventurous
With a limited number of safari tents, Oddballs always feels personal. The tents are simple but charming: canvas, wooden deck, rugged outdoor and indoor showers, verandas where you can relax with views of the delta and the forest edge. Two family tents ensure that you feel completely welcome and safe as a family here.

Wildlife without screens, that’s Oddballs Camp
Oddballs Camp, loosely translated: this is safari up close. Your guide takes you across islands, through channels, and (if water levels permit) by mokoro. You walk onto the island, hear the birds like you rarely do, and see elephants, zebras, and buffalo up close. And you know what? Sometimes wildlife even walks right through the camp. Look, that’s what we call high-end Botswana.

Activities with character
Of course, during your vacation and stay at Oddballs Camp, you want to be able to relax. Unwind on your veranda with a sundowner. A good book in hand. But, afterwards, it’s time for unforgettable adventures. How about these activities at Oddballs Camp?

• Mokoro excursions between reeds and rivers (including sleep-outs)
• Walking safaris with a local guide (when permitted)
• Exploration of surrounding islands and floodplains
• Early and late game drives in open vehicles
• Birdwatching: colorful and diverse

Pure nature, pure feeling
Maybe this is a good time to digitally detox? Oddballs Camp offers you, for a while, not the luxury of Wi-Fi everywhere. No, here you choose real contact, atmosphere, silence, and truly enjoy your surroundings. Okay, but also enjoy: dining under the stars, stories around the campfire, the sound of crickets and hippos. The bush never sleeps, that’s what Oddballs teaches you.

The atmosphere of Planet Baobab
The central restaurant of Planet Baobab offers a colorful mix of African design and comfort. Here you share stories by the campfire, relax by the pool, and feel immediately welcome. Everything is accessible, warm, and perfect as a base for a few days of adventure.
