Ongava Tented Camp Ongava Game Reserve on the southern boundary of Namibia's Etosha National Park has two camps; the main lodge, and the tented camp in a different part of the reserve. Guests can choose the style of accommodation and size of camp that suits them best. The camps are managed independently and each has its own full~time staff, guides, managers and vehicles. Both camps will have a similar activity schedule. Ongava Tented Camp is situated more towards the centre of the game reserve, at the base of the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana Range, meaning "mountain where the boy took the calves".

Accommodations Ongava Tented Camp is a small classic traditional tented camp. Guests sleep in "Meru" tents which are the classic East African style of tent. Each have double doors to allow for uninterrupted views of the bush and waterhole in front of camp and every tent has it's own covered verandah. The tents have been tastefully furnished each with it's own ensuite thatched bathroom with flush toilet and unique open air private shower. The bar and dining area is built out of rock and thatch and has an intimate feel. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the open air fire place and swimming pool, both of which overlook a productive floodlit waterhole situated at eye level in front of the camp.

Activities Mornings are normally spent within Etosha and afternoons on the reserve, tracking white Rhino on foot being one of the many highlights. Aditional activities could also include full day excursions into Etosha National Park, taking along a picnic, subject to availability of vehicles. Night drives on Ongava Reserve and visits to one of the hides on the property.
