For years, Oddball's was a well-regarded budget lodge, but although it's still way below
lodge prices elsewhere in the delta, we reckon it's asking too much considering you're
still staying in budget dome tents. It occupies less-than-exciting woodland beside an air-
strip, but is within walking distance of some classic delta scenery. There's a 30% single
supplement for lone travellers.

Gunn's is a beautiful option for those wanting the amenities of a high-end
safari - expertly cooked meals, attentive service and wonderful views over its island loca-
tion in the delta - with a more rugged sense of place. The elegant tented rooms are as
comfy as you'll find anywhere, but there is more of a feeling of being engaged with the
wilderness, what with the hippos, warthogs and even elephants that occasionally wander
through the grounds. Compared with prices elsewhere, Gunn's represents fabulous value.
