Namibia / Etosha / Ongava Tented Camp

A stylish bush getaway located in the heart of the Ongava Game Reserve

Ongava Tented Camp offers guests an intimate and rustic bush experience in spacious Meru-style tents. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the open-air fireplace and swimming pool, with a view of a bustling waterhole situated at eye level in front of the camp. The camp provides easy access to the Ongava Reserve with guided game drives in open 4x4s at your beck and call.

The surrounding Ongava Reserve is home to black and white rhinos, and the Okaukuejo area is brimming with elephant, giraffe, zebra, and antelope species. It's also a region famous for its predators — lions and cheetah. Be sure to end your day with a sundowner on the deck while watching animals meander down to the floodlit waterhole.

“We are the next generation — committed to protecting and savoring life in all its natural wonder. Restoring the land and reintroducing wildlife, sharing laughter and a sense of wonder with our guests, creating a partnership for protection that is vital for the health of the planet and our souls.”
