"Luxury at Onguma Tented Camp"
We drove through the park from Ongava Lodge, spending the day in Etosha, before arriving at Onguma. The evening meal and service was excellent." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Leopard, Lion and Cheetahs"
As we'd already had quite a lot of luck in driving ourselves around Etosha, including a leopard sighting, we only chose to do activities with the camp where they were on their reserve - which is afternoon and evening drives.
When you arrive at Onguma they make a big thing about not having as much game as Etosha, which is clearly true, however it didn't stop us seeing both Leopard and Rhino on the Rhino drive, cheetahs on the Night Drive and a male lion on the Sundowner drive. The lion also paid us a visit at the camp waterhole during dinner on our first night, announcing his arrival with the hugest roar that seemed to shake the whole camp. The bird life on the camp rarely gets a mention but that was terrific too. Thoroughly recommended." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Onguma Tented Camp review"
We went on a guided drive from Onguma into the eastern side of Etosha. A highlight was watching lions eating a giraffe carcass just a few metres from our open vehicle." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Onguma Tented Camp review"
Enlivened by a lioness and her cubs right outside our tent.
A very good trip into Etosha with Eric the guide, who really knew his stuff. Outstanding. Found us a cheetah and her cub hunting, to order!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Lion encounter at Tented camp"
Perhaps one of the nicest lodges we stayed at although it might be a bit overpriced." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia
"Onguma Tented Camp review"
The game drive in the reserve was great but we didn't enjoy the etosha park -too touristic-" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Onguma Tented Camp review"
On the positive side, the tents are great and you see wildlife both at the private water hole and while driving to Etosha.
However we were not impressed by the food, which tries to be pretentious but lacks quality.
Also note that this one out of several Onguma franchises, which means that you will not get the personal touch of a smaller camp nor the intense interaction with other guests at an owner-run camp.
Reasons to stay here: be close to Etosha and wildlife.

"Onguma Tented Camp"
All of the staff were extremely nice and I like the fact that the Onguma operation goes to great lengths to train and employ local people. But we arrived in the late afternoon after a long drive through Etosha and departed in the next morning, so I don't think we took advantage of all the camp had to offer."

"Onguma Tented Camp review"
The room itself was extremely hot and airless and the fan was useless! The pool area was relaxing and very welcome in the heat." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
