This was a very good safari camp that offered a nice setting next to a wildlife watering hole. The room was well appointed but the back of the couch was broken so maintenance wasn't quite up to par. The food was acceptable but I wasn't too fond of the hundreds of bugs crawling on the dining table (waiter's quote: it's... more

Tented camp is located about 20 minutes drive from the main road very near the East gate of Etosha NP. Only 7 tents, excellent food and personal service make for an exclusive experience. My wife is a vegetarian and was well catered for. Not that many animals at the waterhole on the 2 nights that we stayed but that is... more

Stayed in Onguma Tented Camp for three nights during our 10 nights in Namibia as part of our honeymoon. We were flying around Namibia and got picked up at the airstrip with another couple that was staying in Plains Camp. This couple was dropped off first and we had a look around. The Plains Camp is amazing and unfortunately when... more

Fantastic!

We split our time between the treetop camp and the tented camp and we loved both! The tented camp is a bigger than the treetop (only 4 rooms). They both are in front of natural waterholes and visited frequently by all types of animals. One night while eating dinner at treetop we saw a leopard having a drink! The rooms... more

Onguma means "the place you do not want to leave" and it certainly lives up to it! Imagine your own boutique tented "camp" in the midst of the Namibian bush with fantastic friendly staff and the most luxurious tents you could imagine.... Onguma is set in it's own private reserve just by the gate into Etosha which makes getting in... more

Sadly we only had one night at Onguma Tented Camp. It was extremely comfortable and very well run. The tents are well laid out and carefully designed. The food was the best we found in Namibia. David and Sandra from Zimbabwe who are managing it made us very welcome. I could not recommend it more highly. more

As with most of my reviews, I had the privelege of staying at this lodge on a company educational. The main building whilst seemingly disorganised actually offers one plenty of privacy and space at the same time - especially when you consider that there are never going to be more than 24 guests. The rooms are very spacious, the bed... more

We upgraded to tented camp from the bush camp and were so glad we did. The tents are stunning, about 7 of them surrounding a small waterhole which was visited by small antelope, warthogs and porcupine's during our stay. Each tent has a huge bed complete with very luxurious bedding and throws with views over the waterhold, a huge walk-in... more

We have just spent two nights at Onguma and it was our favourite stop. The accommodation, staff, food and ambience were all perfect. We felt extremely welcome and were very well looked after. The service was superb. We would definately recommend and hope to return again soon. more

We stayed at Onguma lodge for two days as part of a longer tour of Namibia. The lodge is located near the east gate of the Etosha national park and is therefore very well placed for visiting the park each day. The accommodation consists of seven or so luxury tents surrounding a waterhole. They aren't really tents at all in... more
