Immersed in the African Mopani bush, Ongava Tented Camp is a natural extension of this wild, wonderful landscape.

The classic safari style camp is tucked in a hidden valley at the foot of a dolomite hill in Ongava Game Reserve bordering Etosha National Park.

Adventure is second nature at Ongava Tented Camp. Here, the spirit of a traditional sojourn in the wild is redefined in comfort and style, as you settle into the welcome of your spacious walk-in tent.

Our A-frame Meru tents, inspired by the shape of Mount Meru, the “mountain of shining light” in Tanzania, are equipped with modern conveniences to make you feel at home, even when you’re just a heartbeat away from the wonders of nature.

Ongava’s proximity to Etosha allows for game drives in the Etosha National Park and on the Ongava Reserve itself. Other possibilities include guided walks, birding and visiting hides. Ongava holds one of the largest rhino custodianships for the Namibian government in the country and is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where guests can see both black and white rhino.

Every stay in the bush has its own touch of magic, but there’s something extra special about a stay in a tented camp.

You’ll feel like an explorer, immersed in the landscape, with your senses finely attuned to the rhythms of the wild.

A waterbuck ambling right by your tent; a little rock hyrax darting across your path; an elephant dipping its trunk into a waterhole, just a heartbeat away from where you’re sitting.

At Ongava Tented Camp, you’re in nature’s domain, enjoying a special touch of luxury to add to that touch of magic.
