Onguma Safari Camps

Onguma Safari Camps are one of Namibia's best kept secrets. Consider one or more of the four luxury camps located in the vast Onguma Game Reserve, bording Etosha National Park, boasting over 30 different animal species ranging from range game to the predators like lion, cheetah, and leopard. An Onguma experience will leave you breathless.

Property Details

Situated on the eastern side of Etosha, bordering Fisher's Pan, Onguma Safari Camps allow the traveler to experience Namibia in all her beauty and diversity. With almost 50,000 acres of protected reserve, guests will enjoy the plains game including kudu, giraffe, eland, oryx, hartebeest, zebra, impala, and many more as they roam this reserve freely. Of course, with the plains game providing an abundance of food, visitors will likely encounter the ever-watchful predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. Newly introduced to the reserve is a family of black rhino, and the bird watching here is also noteworthy with over 300 species recorded.

There are four camps on the reserve, each affording the visitor a completely unique experience.

Bush Camp

The ideal option for the budget-minded or family traveling to Namibia, Bush Camp consists of six air-conditioned bungalows. The camp offers a refreshing pool, is child-friendly, and dinners are served in open lapa's around a beautiful fire where guests can share wildlife experiences. Bush Camp provides wonderful picnic options, and the bungalows are spacious and comfortable.

Onguma Tented Camp

Onguma Tented Camp is a beguiling mix of sophistication and relaxation in an authentic atmosphere. The redefinement of elegance and the earth, Onguma Tented camp provides spacious and luxurious accommodations for guests who prefer a luxury stay. Interiors of the seven tents with private decks are reflective of the oryx, using textures such as suede and stone and colors like creams, charcoal, and blacks. A beautiful rim flow pool, fabulous dining options, and first class service combine to make this an exceptional choice for the discerning traveler.

Tree Top Camp

This small and intimate camp is designed for travelers who want to experience the bush in all of its raw and beautiful splendor. Built on wooden stilts among the treetops, the lodge offers incredible views over the waterhole that is active with wildlife. Incredible sights, elegant surrounds, and extremely exclusive accommodations of only four thatched rooms with canvas walls create an incredible option.

The Fort

The Fort is unlike any other found in Namibia. It is built in the perfect location to give guests the best sunset views in the whole of Namibia. Overlooking the sparseness of the Etosha Pans, its natural décor consists of camel thorn trees and fabulous wild animal sightings. The Fort consists of 12 mini suites, each completely private and including a complimentary mini bar, air conditioning, elegant en suite bath, and furnishings of beautiful linens and textures. The lounge is breathtaking and the deck is best experienced in the evenings as the sun sets during dinner. The Fort is incredibly exclusive and a surreal splendor of elegance.
