Guests at Oddballs Camp will be accommodated in a 2m x 2m dome tent set on raised wooden platforms, mattresses and pillows are provided, guests are asked to please bring their own sleeping bags and towels (although sleeping bags can be hired from Oddballs Camp - at an additional cost).

Overnight: Camping - Oddballs Camp, Okavango Delta (Lunch, Dinner, Bed & Breakfast)
Day 2 of the tour
After breakfast the adventure begins, guests will head out together with their guide, camping equipment and food on the Okavango Delta Mokoro Trail. After finding a suitable spot to camp, guests can assist their guide in setting up the camp, building a fire and preparing food. The guide will take the guests on Walking Safaris - truly the only way to go out ‘on safari’, enabling you to be ‘at one’ with the environment, and mokoro excursions on the myriad of crystal clear waterways that make the Okavango Delta obtain stunning views of both the wildlife and birdlife that congregate at the water’s edge.
| To please note that there is an extra charge for park fees that we unfortunately cannot include in our price for camping in the Moremi Game Reserve. This cost is BWP 200 per person per day and can be paid in cash at Oddballs Camp on the day of departure for the camping section. The 3 days of camping in Moremi would therefore mean an extra BWP 600 per person. |
