Ongava Tented Camp  Verified Listing

Each lodge on Ongava has its own unique style, layout and atmosphere; but all offer the same wonderful sense of luxurious seclusion. Built from local materials in traditional fashion, they blend tastefully into the surrounding landscape, allowing visitors to feel at one with nature.

Ongava Lodge offers luxury accommodation in rock-and-thatch en-suite chalets. There are impressive views over the camp’s waterhole from the main lounge and dining areas and there is also an inviting pool to cool off in the heat of the day.

The surprising mix of peace and adrenaline, the quiet of the bush and the sudden burst of energy as wild animals congregate at waterholes; this is the magic of the African bush, where you experience the unexpected.

Activities include:
* Guided morning and evening game drives on the reserve
* Guided game drives into the Etosha National Park
* Guided nature walks on the reserve
* White rhino and elephant encounters on foot
* Photographic hide allows unobtrusive game viewing of the camp’s waterhole
* Ongava Research Visitor Centre guests can interface with science and research with dozens of in-depth displays that feature information

Each Lodge has a spacious and comforatable lounge area that allows for relaxing in sheltered nooks with views of the waterhole and beyond. The social area, where guests gather for meals and to meet fellow wildlife enthusiasts, guides and naturalists, encompasses an undercover and open-air dining area, a spacious lounge and bar, a sunken observation terrace, and open fireplaces to take away the winter chill.

Nature walks, photographic hides, lounging by the pool, or relaxing on your private deck are all wonderful ways to enjoy and reflect on your journey of a lifetime.
