Ongava Tented Camp

Tucked away at the foot of a dolomite hill in the Ongava Game Reserve, which borders Etosha National Park to the north, Ongava Tented Camp offers exclusivity, great company, delicious food and an original African wildlife experience without the crowds.

Ongava Private Game Reserve, Etosha, Namibia
Ongava Tented Camp
  • Track rhino on foot in the company of one of the camp's armed guides

  • Family tented rooms

  • Watch game come into drink at the waterhole in front of the main area

  • Relax by the swimming pool


This small, traditional tented camp offers the best of both worlds for your stay in Etosha. Located on the Ongava Private Game Reserve bordering Etosha National Park, you can enjoy game viewing in both areas and a variety of additional safari activities not available elsewhere in the area. Ongava Tented Camp has just 8 tents, offering a very private and intimate safari experience.

Each of the tents has double doors to allow for uninterrupted views of the bush and waterhole in front of the camp and every tent has its own covered veranda. The tents have been tastefully furnished each with its own en-suite thatched bathroom with flush toilet and unique open air private shower. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the open-air fire place and swimming pool, both of which overlook a productive floodlit waterhole situated at eye level in front of the camp.

Game drives and day trips into the easily accessible Okaukuejo area of Etosha National Park are rewarding, with sightings of lion, elephant, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest, and white and black rhino. Guests at Ongava Tented Camp share a dedicated guide and Land Rover, ensuring the best possible nature experience at one of Africa's great wildlife destinations. The Ongava Game Reserve is unique in that it is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where there is a chance of seeing both black and white rhino. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed.
