On the eastern boundary of Etosha National Park in Namibia is Onguma Nature Reserve, a private wilderness spanning 34,000 ha. Within this reserve, elevated on wooden decks and with panoramic views over one of Onguma’s most beautiful and active waterholes is the exclusive and intimate Onguma Camp Kala.
Appealing to the sophisticated luxury adventure traveller seeking authenticity and deep comfort, the camp accommodates just eight guests in 4 suites. Spacious and private, the open-plan suites have a sumptuous bedroom and comfortable lounge with a state-of-the-art air-cooling system, and a beautiful bathroom with bespoke double vanities, full-size free-standing bathtub and generous shower. Each suite has its own deck with plunge pool, wood-fired hot tub and along a short walkway, a private, shaded Sala with an outdoor daybed - perfectly placed for an armchair safari – or even a “sleep out” under the stars.
In the central guest area, there is a comfortable lounge, cocktail bar and an expansive deck. The dining area has an open plan, interactive ‘show’ kitchen and all-day pantry for tasty treats. A highlight at Camp Kala is undoubtedly the ground-level photographic hide which offers a different perspective of all the waterhole action. There is also a gym, spa and yoga deck.

Onduli Ridge, named after the resident giraffe of the area, is built at the base of two south facing granite outcrops which are connected by a ridge. This location allows for magnificent views of Namibia’s highest mountain, the Brandberg, to the south and the dispersed cathedral-like granite inselbergs to the north. The six suites are hidden amongst the granite boulders that nestle the camp and the more temperate climate of central Damaraland allows for naturally ventilated suites, partial open-air bathrooms and largely open communal areas. The camp exudes character and meticulous attention to detail meeting all requirements, from large rooms to libraries, rain showers, infinity pool and plenty of places to laze. Food to tantalize the palate after enjoying exceptional activities combines a genuinely unforgettable stay with exceptional quality while blending effortlessly into the natural surroundings.
