Okavango Mokoro Camping Experience

Explore the Okavango: Dug-Out Canoe and Island Camping

After acclimating for a night in Oddballs Camp, embark on a serene adventure into the Okavango Delta for two or more nights by mokoro or on foot with your guide and camping gear.
Experience the tranquility of gliding through crystal-clear waters, lulled by the rhythmic push of your guide's ngashi. Surround yourself with the gentle rustle of lily pads, the calls of fish eagles, and the sights of reed frogs, bee-eaters, red lechwe, and the occasional grunt of hippos. Though unseen, crocodiles silently observe your passage.
​
By evening, your guide will choose a safe, comfortable island for your campsite. Together, you'll set up camp, gather firewood, and prepare for a peaceful night in the wild. Enjoy an afternoon walk to explore the island’s birds, game, and breathtaking landscapes, creating unforgettable moments in the heart of the Okavango.

What to Expect on Your Okavango Mokoro Safari

After returning to camp in the evening, relax by a crackling fire as you and your guide prepare dinner over open coals beneath a starlit sky. The sounds of the bush create a perfect backdrop for a peaceful night.
​
Mornings begin with an early rise, light refreshments, and an exploratory walk, followed by a late breakfast and time to rest, read, or reflect on your discoveries. Each day unfolds in a blend of serenity and excitement, as the modern world fades and your priorities align with the rhythm of nature.
​
On your final day, return to Oddballs Camp for a night to reacclimate. This time, the wilderness will feel like home, and the thought of returning to civilization will pose its own challenge.
