After a good night's rest, you can enjoy morning tea/coffee with homemade rusks before being collected for breakfast at Onguma Camp Kala.

An impressive 5000-square-kilometre Etosha salt pan is waiting for you. This remote area teems with abundant wildlife such as lions, elephants, black rhinos and giraffes, as well as a variety of birdlife featuring flamingos, ostriches, eagles, hornbills, and owls.

Etosha National Park boasts numerous waterholes, including both natural springs and fountains and others fed by man-made bore holes. The park is well equipped with restaurants, shops, curios and swimming pools.

Set within a private reserve on Etosha's southwestern edge is the revamped old favourite, Andersson's at Ongava. Backed by a spine of mountains and fronted by a busy waterhole, Andersson's offers exceptional up-close encounters in this weirdly wonderful setting.

Eight guest tents (including a family suite) are slightly elevated on wooden platforms, each with a broad L-shaped deck out front. Sliding glass doors open to that huge landscape. The double rooms offer twin-bed arrangements (one has a king-sized bed), all draped with mosquito nets. En-suite bathrooms feature a double basin, a double-headed shower and an additional external shower that is, frankly, glorious. The family suite consists of two rooms, each with a king-sized bed, private bathroom and separate entrance.

With clean lines, broad windows and open-plan spaces, the main area combines chic contemporary styling with textures and materials drawn from outdoors. Views always take centre stage, whether from the dining areas, the cushioned lounge or the sunken observation deck. The open fireplace invites guests to gather to compare sightings. Guests can review and edit images in the photographic nook, visit the research centre and its resident scientists for insights into the science of conservation, and tour the visitors' centre.

Don't miss the chance to visit the Ongava Research Centre, the on-site lab, where resident scientists will discuss their work, and its insightful exhibition area.
