Ongava Game Reserve on the southern boundary of Namibia's Etosha National Park has three lodges; all situated 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.

Ongava Tented Camp is situated towards the centre of the game reserve. It is at the base of the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana Range, meaning "mountain where the boy took the calves".

Ongava Tented Camp has a bar and dining area built out of rock and thatch. It has a unique, intimate feel to it. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the open air fire place and swimming pool, both of which overlook a busy, floodlit waterhole, situated at eye level in front of the camp.

Black and white Rhino have been seen drinking side-by-side at this waterhole. Lion are also frequent visitors. Many guests have commented that they feel safe here - despite the roaring of lions at night.

Ongava Tented Camp is a small, classic traditional tented camp. There are 9 "Meru" tents, the classic East African style of tent. Each have double doors to allow for uninterrupted views of the bush and waterhole in front of the camp, and every tent has its own covered verandah.

The tents have been tastefully furnished, each with its own en-suite thatched bathroom, with flush toilet, and open air private shower.

Activities include guided walks and night drives around the reserve, and game drives during the day into the Etosha National Park. There is also a swimming pool.
