The Ongava Game Reserve lies along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park and a wide variety of game resides on the reserve - including white and black rhinos - giving guests ample opportunity to see these endangered animals.
At the 4-star Ongava Tented Camp, the untamed beauty of the wild meets refined comfort in this exclusive camp, accommodating a maximum of 18 persons.
Being very close to the Anderson Gate entrance to Etosha, Ongava is ideally placed for daily outings into the park, but also offers game drives on the private reserve.
Ongava is more than just a stay-over on your way to or from Etosha. This unique place offers a range of exquisite and exclusive experiences and the opportunity to create lifelong memories.
