For over three decades, Oddballs’ Camp has formed strong ties between the neighbouring Sedibana village and its inhabitants, actively supporting local development in the area. Many of Oddballs’ Camp’s staff members come from the closely situated Sedibana Village and have been employed by the company for numerous years – some more than two decades, including multiple generations of families who work at the camp. Oddballs’ Camp (Enclave included) generates revenue for the government, and helps to police resources against the depredations of those who seek to tarnish the landscape and the wildlife it inhabits. Through their guiding and camp experience, these locals help to create world-wide awareness and exposure of the resources within the Okavango Delta and greater Moremi Game Reserve.

The energy used at Oddballs’ Enclave is generated via solar panel electricity, and where possible, the water is also heated this way. Additionally, Enclave ensures that large fuel tankers do not cross floodplains and streams, or cut through forests to deliver diesel for their generators, and pride themselves on being a camp without any engines or motors. These staggering initiatives are driven by an unwavering dedication to preserve the natural environment, ensuring as minimal carbon emissions as humanly possible.

As the landscape of the Okavango is becoming more arid as increasing animal conservation projects prove successful, the flourishing elephant population is putting increasing amounts of pressure on the old growth tree species inherent to the land. As a result of this, landscapes are changing dramatically. Oddballs’ Camp has established a tree welfare program and many of the trees have been wrapped with diamond mesh wire to protect them from the elephants. In addition, throughout the year, trees in danger are being coated with a homemade paste that repels elephants and stops them from scarring and eventually killing the trees.
