The small Ongava Tented Camp is nestled in mopane woodland at the foot of a low hill on the private 300km2 Ongava Reserve, overlooking a waterhole.

The reserve borders Etosha National Park on the south side, near the Andersson Gate, and benefits from similar wildlife, with the notable inclusion of both black and white rhino.

View of Ongava Tented Camp

With its homely atmosphere, busy waterhole and luxury bushcamp feel, Ongava Tented Camp can be a delight.

It’s as close as you’ll find around Etosha to the safari camps in Botswana, and elsewhere in Africa, and is at its best when you take advantage of the organised activities – especially the guided walks.

Although the camp can be used as a base for self-drive excursions into Etosha, it’s probably not the best choice for this as it’s relatively costly, and a half-hour drive from the main access road to the park.
