Immersed in the African Mopani bush, Ongava Tented Camp is a natural extension of this wild, incredible landscape.
The classic safari-style camp is tucked in a hidden valley at the foot of a dolomite hill in Ongava Game Reserve bordering Etosha National Park.
Eight large comfortable Meru-style tents all have en-suite facilities, open-air showers and private verandas; the family unit sleeps four. The main area, built of stone, canvas and thatch, fronts onto a much-frequented waterhole; watching the wildlife coming to drink from here or the swimming pool is a favourite pastime.
Ongava’s proximity to Etosha allows for game drives in the Etosha National Park and the Ongava Reserve. Other possibilities include guided walks, birding and visiting hides. Ongava holds one of the largest rhino custodianships for the Namibian government in the country and is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where guests can see both black and white rhinos. After a full day of activities, cool off in the pool as you admire the views.

“Ongava Tented Camp is located in a quiet valley immersed in the bush. This authentic, classic tented safari camp is an excellent base from which to explore the private Ongava concession and Etosha National Park. Be sure to spend some time relaxing in the main area overlooking the waterhole where plenty of wildlife congregates to drink.
