"Onguma Bush Camp review"
Minor issue with hot water for the shower which they did try and fix but it remained very sporadic.
Spacious camp with nice variety of seating areas. Pool lovely .
Tasty food. Lovely friendly staff.
We did the evening drive in the reserve which was ok but really not a lot to see." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

With more time there, I'd have enjoyed the swimming pool.
I'm a birder, delighted that Onguma was a very birdy place. Also enjoyed the evening safari ride." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Slightly Disappointing"
The lodge and facilities were Tired.
Dusty room...flies on window-sills and dust on tops of bedside light bulbs.
Some Sun-bed mattresses ripped along top.
Towels on sun-beds not cleared away (@ 19:00)...eventually done at 19:10 but the beds weren’t put straight.
1 Sun-bed frame rusted through.
No shower hot water day 1. Eventually fixed.
Requested a specific table for dinner but it didn’t happen...
There doesn’t appear to be anyone on the case to maintain and improve standards
Apart from Mercia, the duty manager, there do not appear to be any other women workers! So no feminine touch.
Of the 4 lodges we stayed at, this was our least favourite although the restaurant and food were very good. My wife went for a Spa Treatment at ‘The Fort’, also part of the Onguma complex and this was on a better and higher level." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Onguma Bush Camp review"
We arrived late in afternoon, and left early for Etosha in morning.
Next time I would prefer to stay in park Namatumi if it was available." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Onguma Bush Camp"
Bush camp is absolutely fine and we found the bar restaurant area overlooking the waterhole a very pleasant place to enjoy the end of the day, Rooms were well maintained but without minibars / fridges and quite compact. Service was good.
Access to the Onguma site is on a gravel road we though could do with some maintenance.
It was fun to see wildlife at the waterhole adjacent to the camp." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia
