"Ongava Tented Camp review"
We drove through Etosha on our way from Ongava to Onguma Camp. We really enjoyed our day and saw an amazing number of elephants. It you like watching animals close up, the waterholes in Etosha are wonderful. But we appreciated staying at lodges outside the park so we could go on evening drives."

"Ongava Tented Camp review"
Personal, friendly and attentive staff across the board. Great viewing of rhinos and lions in this reserve including nightly visits by the rhinos to the waterhole.
Safari guides will take you to Etosha but it makes for a significantly longer drive. Excellent food and lively meals. Luxury tents." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Ongava Tented Camp review"
The staff have a way of making you feel like you're the only guests there. Activities were excellent and it afforded us our best wildlife spotting, rhinos and lions, of the holiday.
Exhilarating to hear lions roaring next to your tent!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Ongava great lions and rhino"
Expert guides Leon and Festus. Nothing seemed to much for them or camp manager Elizabeth. They also had Wilderness Safari staff inspecting while we were there, also very friendly.
Fantastic location overlooking well frequented waterhole, although with lions close to camp we had to be escorted at pre-arrranged times after dark and once in your tent you did not open the door.
Comfortable accommodation but our donkey boiler had sprung a leak so our room had no hot water for the 2 days which they did not seem to have noticed. It would be good if they could use solar power rather than burning wood. A very sociable camp where we all ate together at large table overlooking waterhole. The animals made this another highlight."
