Etosha National Park, Namibia

Onguma Safari Camps

A simple and sweet tented camp located just outside the eastern boundary of Etosha National Park. Onguma Tented Camp is much more luxurious than its sister Onguma Bush Camp. While Onguma is not flashy, it is much more intimate than the larger properties in the area.  — Mango's view

Situated on the eastern side of Etosha, bordering Fisher's Pan, Onguma Tented Camp is one of Namibia's best kept secrets. Onguma Private Nature Reserve has more than 20,000 hectares of protected land and wildlife. The nature reserve boasts over thirty different animal species consisting of plains game including kudu, giraffe, eland, oryx, hartebeest, zebra, impala and many more roam freely as well as predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard, being common residents of the area. The latest addition to the already abundant wildlife at Onguma Nature Reserve is a family of black rhinos. More than 300 bird species can also be viewed at Onguma Nature Reserve. During the Namibian summer months the nature reserve becomes a bird-watcher's paradise with thousands of species migrating to the wetlands created by the seasonal rains and ephemeral river systems.

Accommodations consist of Onguma Tented Camp with 7 spacious tents extending the u-shaped design of the camp, allowing for both privacy and fantastic views. Each tent is designed with the same attention to detail and has a feeling of natural luxury. Each tent has an indoor and outdoor shower, a gorgeous modern interpretation of an old zinc bath, a separate toilet, two stone basins and a private sitting area. Guests on a smaller budget may stay at Onguma Bush Camp. Basic accommodation consists of 6 ensuite air conditioned luxury bungalows and 1 family room. Six camping sites are also available at the Bush Camp. In late 2006, Onguma will open a third location at Plains Camp. This camp will become the flagship of the Onguma offerings with unparalleled luxury and style.

Guests can enjoy game drives on Onguma Nature Reserve. Alternatively, guests can also participate in a nature drive into Etosha National Park where you will be afforded the opportunity of viewing various game in the largest national park in Namibia. Various waterholes in and around Etosha ensure fantastic photographic opportunities and the thrill of seeing some of the largest mammals in the world. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, take that step at Onguma Safari Camps.
