Ongongo Waterfall Campsite

Ongongo means “magical” in the Herero language. It is indeed a truly magical if not spectacular place. Set in a small canyon in the far northwest of Namibia, a completely barren landscape with some villages close by – you will find permanent water simply oozing out of the mountain. The water is relatively warm which allows for swimming year-round.

The Ongongo Waterfall Campsite is situated 6 km from Warmquelle. Warmquelle is about 90 km north of Palmwag on the C43. The nearest fuel station is at Sesfontein – Alternatively Palmwag.

Access is by 2x4 vehicle, but with caution as the road is rocky and takes some time to navigate through. 2x4 drivers are not advised to take their vehicles into the gorge, which is 4x4 accessible only. Vehicles can be left in a parking area at the top and equipment carried down. We highly recommend travelling with 4x4 vehicles.

We offer:

• waterfall and crystal clear water all year round

• 9 luxury campsites including

   - private ablution facilities

   - hot showers

   - shaded area with washbasin.
