Onguma Bush Camp

Lodges near Etosha National Park

The Onguma reserve, situated on the eastern side of Etosha Park, presently contains two accommodation establisments: the luxurious Onguma Tented Camp and the cheaper family oriented Onguma Bush Camp.

At Onguma Bush Camp accommodation consists of 6 en-suite air-conditioned luxury bungalows, and 1 family room. Bush Camp is ideal for families who would like to have a base from which they can explore Etosha National Park. Upon your return, relax and cool off around our pool while watching a spectacular sunset.

Dinner is served in the open lapa area where you will be treated to an excellent combination of European and traditional African cuisine sitting around an open fire under the Namibian sky.

The Onguma reserve covers an area of 20 000ha and incorporates ecological substrata such as savannah, bushveld, omuramba and dry pan. Age-old and well-worn migration routes, once used by elephant and buffalo wander through Onguma’s three dry riverbeds. Onguma reserve boasts over thirty different animal species. Plains game roam freely and predators although not easy to spot are nevertheless common residents of the area.

Onguma also became part of an innovative custodianship project relating to the black rhino. Six black rhino were darted in Etosha National park and shipped to the reserve. Here they are protected and monitored. The joyful news is that the first calf was born on Onguma in October 2002.

More than 300 bird species can be viewed at Onguma. The reserve boasts the biggest breeding colony of white-backed vultures in Namibia. During the summer months Onguma becomes a bird-watchers paradise with thousands of species migrating to wetlands created by the seasonal rains and ephemeral river systems. This part of Namibia has been identified as one of the key bird watching sites in Southern Africa.
