Ongava Tented Camp

Ongava Tented Camp, built of stone, canvas and thatch, accommodates 16 guests in eight large comfortable Meru-style tents all with en-suite facilities, open air showers and private verandas. The family unit sleeps four. Activities at this comfortable camp typically take place around the main area with its relaxing bar and swimming pool fronting onto a much-frequented waterhole.

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s premier wildlife destination and at almost the size of Switzerland it is certainly one of Africa’s largest game parks.

Large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season, whilst the summer month’s sporadic rainfall produces a profusion of life.

Ongava’s proximity to Etosha allows for game drives that take in the plethora of game in the National Park and on the Ongava Reserve itself. Other possibilities include guided walks, birding and spending time in hides.

A special encounter is white rhino tracking – Ongava holds one of the largest rhino custodianship for the Namibian government in the country and is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa that give one the chance to see both black and white rhino.
