Onguma Safari Camp

Onguma Safari Camp shares the eastern border of Namibia’s Etosha National Park. It is a beguiling mixture of sophistication and relaxation, of elegance and the earth. It is this intriguing combination and attention to detail that makes Onguma Tented Camp the ultimate safari experience.

The principal entrance of stone, wood and steel guides guests into the Camp’s main u-shaped building with its lounge, dining area, cellar and rimless swimming pool. The lodge blends seamlessly with a natural waterhole edged with graceful makalani palms; it attracts prolific bird life and wildlife.

The seven spacious tents extend the u-shaped design, allowing for both privacy and fantastic views. Styled similarly to the main lodge in the colours of the bush, each tent has the same attention to detail and 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.

Classic safari Tents are softened by draped white fabric above, creating the illusion of being in the clouds. With thick white towels, cool cotton dressing gowns, oversized European pillows, retro inspired fans, stainless steel lights, gunmetal grey and white linen, the attention to detail takes time to absorb.

Each Tent has a direct view of a waterhole that is lit at night. Lions roar, hyenas cackle and owls hoot under a canopy of stars. In the morning, if one should choose to leave such comfortable surroundings, the bush continues to beckon.

Onguma Tented Camp is located in the Onguma Private Game Reserve. Wildlife roams freely in over 20, 000 hectares of protected land. Guests can enjoy guided walks through the bush and both day and night game drives on this private reserve, along with drives into the neighbouring Etosha National Park.
