Discover the Beauty of Namibia
Shift your perspective of what luxury means, as you settle into the spectacular surroundings of Ongava Lodge.
Luxury is the sense of the infinite that greets you as you gaze into the wild beyond. Luxury is the thrill of a close encounter with rare and endangered wildlife, from the sanctuary of a game-viewing hide.
Luxury is the space that surrounds you in the air-conditioned suite of your rock chalet. Luxury is a new way of making the most of life in the wild, here at Ongava Lodge.
The well-established Ongava Lodge is situated in the privately owned Ongava Game Reserve along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park. Placed as it is close to the top of a hill in the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana range, the vantage point is beautiful and overlooks a well-frequented waterhole and the plains beyond.
Ongava Lodge offers luxury accommodation in 14 rock-and-thatch en-suite chalets. There are impressive views over the camp’s waterhole from the main lounge and dining areas and there is also an inviting pool to cool off in the heat of the day. Meals are either served in the main dining area under thatch or on the dining deck under the stars.
Activities include game drives into Etosha, spending time in the camp hide, and nature drives and walks on the reserve. Ongava has resident white and black rhino, giving guests staying at Ongava the opportunity to see both species.
Discover the allure of Ongava Lodge’s thirteen Standard Chalets, each featuring two twin three-quarter beds. Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of nature, waking up to the enchanting sounds of the African bush. With modern elegance and rustic charm, our chalets offer a unique stay in the heart of Namibia’s wilderness. Embrace the extraordinary landscapes and make every moment count in this captivating safari haven.
There is one family unit available, which consists of 2 bedrooms. Each unit/ bedroom has two three quarter beds and their own en-suite bathroom with flush toilet, shower and double hand basin. The two units/ bedrooms have a shared entrance and are joined by a boardwalk.
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.
Offered seasonally and subject to an available walking guide, nature walks through the area take in the abundant array of life, small and large; with a chance of potentially approaching white rhino.
The hide is a fantastic place to relax and while the hours away up close and personal with wildlife slaking its thirst at the camp waterhole. This arid environment where little water occurs makes this a popular drinking spot for game.
Guided afternoon/evening game drives take place on the 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.
