Onguma Tented Camp
About Onguma Tented Camp
Located on the eastern edge of Etosha National Park within the private Onguma Reserve, Onguma Tented Camp provides a sophisticated safari experience centered around a busy, floodlit waterhole. The camp features elegant, classic canvas tents set on raised platforms, offering comfort without sacrificing the sensory connection to the bush. The design is intimate, with communal areas positioned to allow for constant wildlife viewing as game frequents the water. Guests enjoy expert-led drives into Etosha, known for its expansive salt pan and high concentration of plains game and predators. Returning to camp, the atmosphere is quiet and observant, centered on the nocturnal activity at the water’s edge. It is an ideal base for those wanting to combine the biodiversity of Etosha with a private, exclusive reserve setting.
Why we like it
The waterhole views are exceptional; you can often watch rhinoceros and lion from the comfort of the main dining deck without leaving the camp.
