Wonderful place to experience wildlife of Africa. Great place with wonderful atmosphere. Definitely a place to visit. Namibia is very interesting country to visit and Etosha is a gem among parks. Onguma is perfectly situated to explore the park.

We did research on tripadvisor for our first visit of Etosha National Park. Number one rated place was Onguma. Going with three kids we choose option of staying in family room. Its a simple room, but very spacious. This place mrt all our expectations. I love how intimate and quite it was. We almost felt like we are visiting a... More

The Bradt guide says that Onguma is somewhat utilitarian and the budget option. It may not have the luxury of the tented camp but utilitarian it is not! The central dining and sitting area could not be more comfortable with wonderful views over the new water hole and the bush. The staff are excellent and sitting out on the wooden... More

The Onguma Bush Camp is very good located next to one of the Entrance of the Etosha Park. The spacious and breathtaking African Cabins have everything you need. The Main building has a incredible view to a large waterhole (Lions, Giraffes etc.). There is a large Swimming Pool. The Dinner and the Breakfast where very good. We booked a Sundowner... More

We stayed here during our trip around Namibia. It was one of the last places to stay and this place was by far the best accommodation. We stayed in a waterhole suite, very well appointed, fine amenities. The main building consists of restaurant, bar, lounge and the most amazing viewing platform/terrace overlooking the stunning waterhole. Lovely pool as well through... More

This was our first experience of camping in Namibia and what a great one! There are just a few campsites so plenty of privacy. The lodge is just a few minutes away but to walk there (especially at night) gives you the impression you are in the middle of the wilderness surrounded by animals. The night ride is worth doing...

The Lodge consists of a number of round African village huts around the main building, housing the restaurant and bar. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant offers nice diners and breakfasts in a stylish setting: a wide room under a straw roof and heated by the central fire place. Most tourists will want to request lunch packs to... More

On the edge of the Etosha National Park this lodge is an excellent stop-over before going into the park. Beautifully designed on the edge of a waterhole which the restaurant and the bar overlooking it. Our room in an individual luxury "hut" was large and clean although a bit lacking in space for putting your clothes. Since we were only... More

Dear Mike B, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. The good news is that the main acces roads are all in tip top shape again after extensive rebuilding and maintenance. This is done annually before and after the rainy season. The distance to the main Etosha park entrance is in fact 7 km and should take... More

My girlfriend and I stayed for 1 night in Onguma bush camp in september. It is a true paradise. Very friendly staff, nice accomodation and a beautifull view from the restaurant and bar. We did a night safari and saw hyena, caracal, bush-baby etc. Situated close to the south gate of Etosha. Breakfast and dinner both tasted very nice. One... More

My wife and I stayed here for the first 3 nights of our honeymoon. Onguma Bush camp is well run and clean. The staff made extra effort to make our honeymoon special by giving us a secluded dining table on the dinning room balcony and giving us a courtesy small bottle of sparkling wine. Our room was large, clean and... More
