Heritage of Africa

Day One

Upon arrival at Maun airport you will be met by a company representative for your light aircraft charter transfer flight to Oddballs Camp.

Spend 3nights at Oddballs Camp on a full board basis with activities

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 airstrip and welcomed to the island. Accommodation is in dome tents, fully equipped, and set on elevated wooden decks shaded by reed shelters. These 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. Meals are simple, yet wholesome and enjoyed in the main complex.

Activities are conducted by your own professional guide (a maximum of two guests per guide), a man of the swamp, born and bred. He has a mokoro (dug-out 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 levels, it is also possible to go camping.

For guests staying for four nights 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 a great reputation.

 

Day Four

After breakfast and check out, depart Oddballs Camp via light aircraft charter transfer flight to

Grassland Bushman Lodge.

Grassland Bushman Lodge is situated on the western side of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the Ghanzi district of Botswana, the property is a private wildlife reserve of some 15 000 ha. The Central Kalahari is our home and has been so for five generations, we would love to share our passion and first hand knowledge of the Kalahari with our guests.

Our lodge is somewhat different from most others you will encounter in Botswana. We are a family concern and proud citizens of Botswana. Apart from the family the rest of our staff compliment is made up entirely of San (Bushmen), most have worked alongside our family for generations. In fact our family has lived in the Ghanzi district for over 120 years. Our lodge can accommodate 16 guests and we also are able to accommodate families in a special family unit.
