ODDBALLS ENCLAVE

Oddballs Enclave

Tucked away on a private corner of Chief’s Island within the Okavango Delta, Oddballs’ Enclave offers an exclusive and authentic safari experience for those seeking seclusion, intimacy, and immersion in one of Botswana’s most pristine wilderness areas. Sharing the same spirit of simplicity as its sister camp, Oddballs’ Enclave elevates the experience with added privacy, personalized service, and a smaller, more intimate setting.

Accessible only by light aircraft, the Enclave is ideal for families, small groups, or independent travelers who value a deeply personal, off-the-grid adventure in the heart of the Delta.

Accommodations

Oddballs’ Enclave consists of just five spacious Meru-style tents, each built on raised wooden decks with private views over the floodplains. The tents are tastefully appointed and feature en-suite open-air bathrooms with flush toilets and traditional bucket showers, allowing guests to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort.

The Enclave’s central area includes a relaxed lounge, dining space, and deck where guests gather for meals, wildlife viewing, or evening sundowners around the fire. With a dedicated team and private setting, the atmosphere is tranquil and tailored to your pace.

Activities

Like Oddballs’ Camp, the Enclave focuses entirely on low-impact, high-reward experiences—offering safaris on foot and by mokoro, guided exclusively by a personal, professional guide:

• Private Walking Safaris: Explore Chief’s Island and its surrounding channels on guided bush walks with your own dedicated guide. Discover animal tracks, medicinal plants, and the intricate details of the ecosystem while walking through big game country.

• Mokoro Excursions: Drift silently through the Delta’s clear waters in a traditional dugout canoe, steered by your guide. Mokoro trips offer exceptional birdwatching, peaceful scenery, and a chance to observe wildlife from a uniquely quiet perspective.

• Overnight Trails (Optional): Adventurous guests can embark on multi-day mokoro expeditions with fly camping, spending a night or more on remote islands under the stars for a raw and memorable wilderness experience.

• Birding: The area’s exceptional bird diversity makes the Enclave a favorite among birding enthusiasts, with frequent sightings of rare and colorful species.

Additional Amenities

Oddballs’ Enclave enhances the classic Delta experience with thoughtful touches and a focus on exclusivity:

• Personalized Service: With a smaller guest capacity and private guiding, the Enclave offers a tailored experience built around your interests and rhythm.

• Eco-Friendly Philosophy: The camp operates on solar power, uses sustainable materials, and adheres to a strict low-impact ethos to protect the Delta’s delicate ecosystems.

• Hearty, Homemade Cuisine: Meals are wholesome, fresh, and lovingly prepared, served in a relaxed communal style or privately, depending on your preference.

Combining exclusivity with authenticity, Oddballs’ Enclave is a perfect choice for those who want to immerse themselves in the untamed beauty of the Okavango Delta—away from the crowds, guided by local wisdom, and surrounded by the sights and sounds of true wilderness.
