Oddballs Camp
Okavango Delta Accommodation - Okavango Delta National Park - Okavango Delta Lodges
 Situated on the south-western edge of Chief’s Island, deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta Oddballs is accessible by light aircraft only - from Maun a scenic 20-minute hop over the dry outskirts of the town and then into the lush green landscape of islands, channels and floodplains where the camp is situated. This flight over the Okavango Delta is something wonderful to behold.
The area has abundant game. However, game-viewing is of course very much a matter of luck, but elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, crocodile and hippopotamus are regularly encountered. Cape Hunting Dogs move through the area from time to time, and one can occasionally see cheetah. In addition to these potentially dangerous animals there is a host of herbivores – giraffe, the usual antelope and some endemic species such as tsessebe, red lechwe and sitatunga - and smaller carnivores, such as spotted hyaena, jackals, wild cats, mongooses, honey-badgers and the like.
No firearms are carried and guides relying rather on caution, vigilance, experience and an understanding of animal behaviour to deal with the situations that arise.
