When in Botswana, stay at Oddballs camp in the Okavango delta

There are rare places in the world where everything simply falls into place. This was one of them. From the warm welcome to the genuine farewells, the hospitality here stood out—not in a showy way, but in its quiet attentiveness and care. The only sounds that accompanied our days were the melodic calls of birds and the gentle splash of water stirred by passing wildlife. Distractions were few, and always magical: elephants grazing in the distance, antelope appearing quietly between the reeds, and the occasional curious glance from animals utterly unbothered by our presence. Daily activities, whether a guided walking safari or a peaceful mokoro ride through the Delta’s winding channels, felt as if time moved differently here. There are certainly more luxurious options in the Okavango Delta. But nowhere else have we encountered such authenticity. The simplicity, the intimacy with nature, and the heartfelt connection with the people who call this place home made it, without question, one of the most meaningful travel experiences we’ve ever had.
