Overview

Stylish Ongava Lodge is situated along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park in the privately-owned Ongava Game Reserve. From its beautiful vantage point overlooking a waterhole and the plains beyond, one can enjoy a plethora of game that arrives to drink. Its proximity to the National Park makes it the ideal base for exploring Etosha's kaleidoscope of wildlife.

Ongava Lodge offers luxury accommodation in fifteen en-suite units made of rock and thatch, including one family unit with two bedrooms. The air-conditioned rooms are spacious and are all very well equipped with walk through dressing areas and large bathrooms with twin vanities and indoor and outdoor showers. The bedroom and lounge area has floor to ceiling windows providing spectacular views over the bush.

There are also impressive views from the split-level main lounge, bar and dining area, as they are situated close to the top of a hill, part of the foothills of the unpronounceable Ondundozonanandana Range. There is also an inviting pool to cool off in the heat of the day. Meals are either served in the main dining area under thatch with a view over the camp's waterhole, or on the dining deck under the stars.

Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier wildlife destination and one of Africa's largest game reserves. Large herds of wildlife teem around the waterholes and the endless plains offer breathtaking vistas.

Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles either on the private concession (where you can also enjoy night drives) or into the Okaukuejo area of Etosha where lion, elephant (seasonal), gemsbok, springbok, black rhino, greater kudu and red hartebeest can be seen at numerous waterholes and fringing habitats. Apex predators like leopard, cheetah and spotted hyaena also occur in this area.

In addition, guest can spend time in bird hides and enjoy walks with guides on the private reserve. Ongava has resident white and black rhino - one of the few private reserves in southern Africa that can offer this - allowing guests staying at Ongava the unique opportunity to see both of these charismatic species. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed.
