"Living the dream..."
The restaurant and food also overlooking the waterhole was perfect with amazing service and fantastic food. The pool. Our room was so comfy with little extras like a bottle of water at night. But most of all the staff - so friendly and attentive - I felt so relaxed and happy here.
We also did an evening drive and saw plenty of animals which made it a fantastic all rounder - I'd happily go back here and spend a week or longer!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Beautiful but smoking allowed in best spot"
The dining room/ lounge area is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable.
The only negative is that smoking is allowed in the best spot (the lounge area just above the waterhole)." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa
"Onguma Bush Camp review"
We were disappointed that we could not self drive around the Onguma private reserve and that they no longer offered a night drive. The day walk led by David was great - informative and a chance to walk in the area. We were late back for breakfast, but the staff were waiting for us and couldn't do more for us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe

"Ongumu"
The tour guides were so wonderful. Armstrong extended our tour well past his quitting time in an attempt to find us some animals.
I wish we had arrived here earlier and taken their tours into Etosha instead of driving around on our own," See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 2n in Rwanda; 1n in South Africa
"Great experience at Onguma Bush Camp"
The next morning, one of the staff members gently knocked on our door at 7 am to let us know that there was a lioness walking in front of our rooms to the waterhole. That was the only lion we saw on our trip.
The wait staff, specifically, Edwil, was very attentive and I'll be forever grateful for his knock on our door to come out and see the lion!" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa
"Onguma Bush Camp review"
The watering hole in the dining area was the best I had seen.
The kids really enjoyed the loft rooms. The rooms were very, very nice and comfortable.
They did a great job of accommodating requests for kid-friendly food options." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
"Onguma Bush Camp review"
However, after Okonkjima the game drives seemed average at best. We were quite disappointed with the morning walk - we seemed to learn a lot about termites - and saw nothing reasonably close or special.
We saw most when we were relaxing and looking out over the waterhole and we also enjoyed relaxing at the swimming pool." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
