On the doorstep of the world famous Chobe National Park, just outside the centre of Kasane, and only an hour away from the mighty Victoria Falls, Kubu Lodge is an ideal place from which to explore this fascinating region. Set on 30 hectares of riverine forest on the banks of the Chobe River, comfortable thatched chalets on stilts overlook a shaded lawn that spreads beneath giant ebony and wild fig trees to the river's edge. Although wildlife may pass through the area, Kazungula does not offer a typical bush experience, but rather is a quieter town base with river frontage and easy access to the Chobe National Park.

The lodge can arrange game drives or boat cruises into the Chobe National Park, where guests can see a variety of big game and birdlife. The main Sedudu Gate into the Chobe National Park is a 20 minute drive away, and boat cruises depart from Kasane Town just a 10 minute drive away.

Alternatively, take a walk along the 2 km Nature Trail that meanders through some pristine indigenous riverine habitat on the Chobe.

In between activities, relax around the private and secluded swimming pool, with a view of the river.

Kubu Lodge has 11 wooden chalets, spread out under large shady trees with an expansive lawn that helps provide a cool and verdant ambience.

Dining at Kubu Lodge is a pleasant experience, as the lodge is well known for its excellent cuisine. Enjoy dinner under the stars on the restaurant deck, or the romance of the private boma for special occasions.

The fully stocked bar is also centrally located in the thatched restaurant, and commands a magnificent view over the grounds and the Chobe River.

Oddballs' Camp 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, and on arrival you will be met at the airstrip and welcomed to the island by your guide.

Oddballs' caters to the active traveller and undoubtedly represents excellent value for money in the Okavango Delta. Activities are conducted by your own professional guide (a maximum of 2 guests per guide), who is native to the area. He has his own 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.  The camp also offers overnight camping trails by mokoro for guests staying 4+ nights, and these trails are amongst the most sought-after wilderness experiences in the Delta today.

Walking is an integral and significant part of the experience at any time of year, and the extent of the walks will depend on your tastes and level of fitness. Guests usually go out in the early morning, having a late breakfast on their return, and again in the afternoon after the midday heat has dissipated, but some elect to go out for the whole day with a packed picnic lunch.
