Onguma Tented Camp

Nestled in the shade of towering trees and overlooking a productive water hole, Onguma Tented Camp is the most traditional of Onguma’s camps, offering classical tented accommodation in one of the most beautiful spots imaginable.

The 7 safari tents are all set on their own raised decks with shaded verandas at the front where guests can relax and take in the views between game drives. Inside they are simply but comfortable furnished with mosquito net draped beds, plenty of storage space and boast en-suite bathrooms that have all of the amenities one could need. A short walk from the guest tents is the main area of the lodge, another under canvas space set on a vast deck with plenty of little hidden spots where guests can retreat for some privacy. The views out across to the waterhole and the plains beyond are spectacular, with plenty of opportunity for impromptu game viewing during the afternoons. The genial staff are always on hand to serve drinks and chat about their life working in the bush and really help to make a stay here a special experience. Meals are served either in the open-sided dining room or out on the deck, with menus devised from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

As well as being able to head off and self-drive in the Etosha National Park, guests are able to enjoy guided tours from the lodge, including game drives, sundowner drinks trips and guided walks, all of which are a wonderful experience and really enhance how enjoyable a stay here is.
