Ongava Tented Camp

The unfenced Ongava Tented Camp is a small camp nestled in mopane woodland at the foot of a small hill on the private 300km2 Ongava Reserve, and overlooking a waterhole. The reserve borders Etosha National Park on the south side near Andersson's Gate and is an ideal base for exploring the park.

Our view of Ongava Tented Camp

Staying at Ongava Tented Camp can be a delight – with its homely atmosphere, busy waterhole and luxury bush camp feel. If you're seeking an atmosphere similar to many of the safari camps found in Botswana, and elsewhere in Africa, then this is as close as you'll find around Etosha. The camp is at its best when you take advantage of the organized activities, especially the walking safaris – which aren't possible to do within the national park. Although Ongava Tented can be used as a base for self-drive excursions into Etosha, it's probably not the best choice of place to stay if this is your main aim – being relatively costly, and a little further from the main access road to the park than would be optimum.
