Onguma Safari Camps

Onguma Safari Camps are based on Etosha’s eastern side, close to the Namutoni Gate and Fisher’s Pan. The collection of lodges offers something for everyone, from the family friendly Bush Camp to more intimate and exclusive game experiences at Onguma Tented Camp.

The camps are situated on the 20,000 ha Onguma Nature Reserve, which hosts a variety of animals such as kudu, giraffe and oryx, with sightings of lion, leopard and cheetah being plentiful in the area. A recent addition to the reserve is a family of endangered black rhino! Game drives are enjoyed in the Onguma Game Reserve, and nature drives into Etosha is also offered. Position yourself next to one of the waterholes and simply watch the large mammals interact as they carry on with their daily routines. Birding is also fantastic, especially after the rains and when the pan is full of water, marvel at the pink spectacle that is the large flocks of flamingos gracing the area.
