"Ongava Lodge review"
very select as we were upgraded and only eight rondavals" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
"Ongava Lodge - what a gem"
We spent a morning in an empty lodge watching an endless procession of animals coming to the waterhole. We were lucky to see a mother and baby white rhino close up on our sundowner drive. Black rhinos came to the floodlit waterhole every evening. The whole stay was fantastic." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Ongava Lodge review"
The water hole in front of the main lodge attracted a fairly regular flow of thristy animals, including zebra, waterbuck, black-faced impala, warthog, giraffe, wilderbeest, lion and rhino, as well as a martial eagle!
The staff were all friendly and eager to point out any visitors to the waterhole, in case we had missed these ourselves. Salomon, our guide was most personable and kind. The service is outstanding and the rooms tastefully and comfortably furnished. The food was delicious and varied and the menu choice excellent." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Luxurious Ongava Lodge"
Downside: limited opportunity to walk around the lodge area on your own, especially not after dark as it's too dangerous. Same goes for Etosha - lots of signs tell you to stay in the car." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
