Namibia

Onguma Bush Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

A family-friendly safari destination, Onguma Bush Camp is perfectly situated on the eastern side of Namibia’s iconic Etosha National Park.

Accommodations at the camp consist of sixteen rooms. For families, there are five twin bedded standard rooms which includes three rooms with a children’s sleep area in the loft and one family unit with four beds. There are also six twin bedded waterhole/pool-side rooms, three rondavels, one Settler’s Room, and two single tour guide rooms. All rooms include an en suite bathroom with a shower while the Settler’s Room also comes with a bath. Other amenities include fans, air-conditioning, and mosquito nets fitted to the windows.

The camp is set in the Onguma Game Reserve which stretches across 84,015 acres of protected land. Plains game such as kudu, giraffe, eland, oryx, hartebeest, zebra, and impala roam freely, and predators including lion, cheetah, and leopard are frequently sighted. The reserve even boasts its own family of Black Rhino. During the Namibian summer months, when the rains have finally come, the park becomes a birdwatcher’s paradise. Over 300 bird species migrate to the wetlands and the once-dry riverbeds. The private reserve also borders Fischer’s Pan, offering easy access to Etosha, Namibia’s premier wildlife destination. Etosha not only houses miles of prime game-rich grasslands, it contains the world-famous Etosha Pan, a white-clay, salt pan so large it can be seen from space.

Game drives in Onguma are available in the morning, afternoon, and at night. Expert guides educate guests on the local flora and fauna as well as tracking the much-desired plains game and their predators. Organized game drives into Etosha are possible, and a morning drive to Namutoni is often followed by a safari through the park. A highlight of any trip to Onguma is the morning bush walk, led by an experienced armed ranger. Tracking animals by their “spoor” is really interesting and fun for all. Unique to Onguma is the afternoon black rhino drive, which allows visitors to experience Onguma’s unique effort in black rhino conservation. A particular highlight is gathering data from strategically placed camera traps positioned at various waterholes.

The camp’s common area includes a bar, lounge, and restaurant. Breakfast consists of a buffet or a typical English breakfast. Lunch is normally sandwiches, pasta, and salads. Dinner is a three-course meal of either traditional African fare or European cuisine served in an open lapa area. All meals are served “al fresco,” under an expansive, starry sky. A refreshing swimming pool and small game room are perfect for entertaining children and adults alike.
