Ongava Tented Camp is a small classic safari camp where guests sleep in traditional East African or 'Meru' tents. The camp is situated towards the centre of the game reserve, at the base of the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana Range. The camp's bar and dining area is built out of rock and thatch and has an intimate feel. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the camp fire and swimming pool..
Each tent has double doors to allow for uninterrupted views of the bush and productive waterhole in front of the camp. Every tent has been tastefully furnished with its own en-suite thatched bathroom which includes flush toilet and unique open air private shower.

Guided afternoon/evening game drives take place on the 30 000-hectare private Ongava Game Reserve. The reserve is famed for its population of rhino as well as lion and other game such as antelope, including endemic black-faced impala, and zebra.
Full- or half-day guided morning game drives in the Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area (with packed lunch on full day). See the massive saltpan as well as the perennial springs that provide the water required by the Park’s high-density big game population.
Offered seasonally and subject to an available walking guide, nature walks through the area take in the abundant array of life, from unusual plants to arid-adapted animals, with a chance of approaching white rhino.
Guests can interface with science and research across the Ongava Game Reserve and part of this experience is an immersion into the world of natural history and science at the new Ongava Visitor Centre. With dozens of in-depth displays that feature information on the geology, animals, plants and ecological functioning of this fascinating region, guests are encouraged to meander through the self-guided exhibition area.
