Itinerary

Upon arrival at Maun Airport, embark on a scenic flight to Oddballs Camp, a secluded haven nestled in the heart of the world-renowned Okavango Delta. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a breathtaking tapestry of waterways, floodplains, and lush vegetation, teeming with diverse wildlife. Whether you visit during the flood season (May-September) or the dry season (October-April), the Delta offers unparalleled beauty and wildlife encounters. During the flood season, the Delta transforms into a vast aquatic wonderland, while the dry season concentrates wildlife around permanent water sources. At Oddballs Camp, you’ll experience the true essence of the Delta. Stay in comfortable, elevated meru tents with en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers, providing stunning views of the surrounding wilderness.
