Ongava Private Reserve

Perched on a hillside within the Ongava Private Game Reserve, Horizon by Ongava offers thatched villas with commanding views across the plains, stretching towards Etosha National Park. It is one of the most private addresses on the reserve, designed specifically around seclusion and space, with each villa set well apart and reached via a meandering wooden boardwalk.
Inside, enjoy a spacious sitting room with a fireplace, a private infinity pool, sun loungers, a 180-degree viewing deck and a separate thatched lookout point along its own walkway. Bathrooms include both indoor and outdoor showers alongside a bath with butler-prepared salts and oils on your return from the field. Every stay includes a private vehicle and guide, meals served in the thatched dining area or in the villa itself, and a curated wine selection to match.
Game drives cover the Ongava Private Game Reserve, which shares an unfenced boundary with Etosha National Park, with both black and white rhinos on the reserve alongside lions, leopards, cheetahs and a plethora of game. Night drives reveal the reserve after dark, guided walks bring you into the bush on foot, and excursions into Etosha add scale to what is already a richly varied game area. The Ongava Discovery Centre and Research Centre, based at the neighbouring Anderssons property, are accessible while staying at Ongava.
Insider's Tip: Horizon's private vehicle means your guide determines every drive around your interests. Before you head out, take five minutes to tell them what you are most hoping to see or learn, and let them build the day around that rather than following the standard circuit.
