As I write this I can see a herd of Zebra, 2 Elephants and a few springbok & baboons in the clearing near the river in front of the rest area in camp. So the next morning I awoke to a brilliant sunrise then watched a troop of baboons crossing the open ground in front of camp, we then went on a morning safari walk before breakfast.
what can I say about the walking safari looking for the lion that we heard during the night, it was great for the first hour, for the next hour it was hard, by the third hour I was saying leave me for the lions, save yourselves... it ended up being a 3 1/2 hr 10km walk through the open veldts, high grass, bush and sand. we certainly saw a lot of animals, and learnt about the African bush, again most of the animals were at a distance, and I think a motorised safari would have been more enjoyable for me, and we would have hot closer to the animals.
Oddballs Camp is situated deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta, where all activities are led by men from the local communities. The camp is remote and offers a private safari experience with breath-taking views and sunsets. Accommodation is in 3m x 3m canvas rooms set on elevated wooden decks shaded by the trees and canvas shelters, outdoor showers and ablutions en-suite with a bucket shower. At the bar and lounge areas at the camp there is a raised viewing deck that overlooks the sweep of the Delta from where you can watch the sun set over the palms and view whatever wildlife may be visiting. There is no phone or internet, but I've enjoyed just relaxing for a couple of days and taking in the views b(except for the walking safaris).
The morning and evening views of the countryside are just stunning, WOW.....
