Onguma Tented Camp, a luxury tented lodge situated on the eastern side of the Etosha National Park, offers a beguiling mixture of sophistication and relaxation.
Onguma Private Nature Reserve has more than 20,000 hectares of protected land and wildlife, with over 30 different animal species and with only a five minute drive to the Etosha gate, this is the very best location for your safari.
In the local Herero language, Onguma means, "the place you don't want to leave" and that certainly rings true when you arrive at your large luxury tent.
Each of the seven tents has a bedroom area with views of the bush and an open plan bathroom, made for romance, completes the perfect picture. Relaxing in the old-fashioned tin bath, listening to the lions roar in the distance, is what dreams are made of!
With thick white towels, cool cotton dressing gowns, oversized European pillows, retro-inspired fans and stainless steel lights, the attention to detail takes time to absorb!
Overlooking a busy watering hole, the lounge and dining area at Onguma Tented Camp lends itself to long lazy afternoons, spent relaxing on the sofas in the lounge and watching the animals saunter past.
Take a gentle stroll to the rim flow pool and relax in the flowing waters while enjoying an ice cold drink.
The Onguma Private Reserve incorporates over 20 000 hectares of protected land. Wildlife, including lions, jackals and the rare black rhino, roam free where you can enjoy guided walks through the bush and both day and night drives on the private reserve.
Lise's thoughts on Onguma Tented Camp:
This is definitely my favourite of the Etosha Camps. Onguma is luxurious without being pretentious. The tents are really fantastic and of course the game that walks right past your windows
