Ongava
Game Lodge is situated along the southern boundary
of Etosha National Park in the privately owned Ongava
Game Reserve. Ongava is the ideal place from which
to base your activities when visiting Etosha. Accommodation
comprises twelve air-conditioned brick, rock and thatch
chalets, each with en-suite facilities.
Meals are either served in the main dining area under
thatch with a view over the camp's water hole, or
on the dining deck under the stars. Activities include
game drives in open 4x4 vehicles into the Okaukuejo
area of Etosha where Lion, Elephant, Cheetah, Gemsbok,
Springbok and Hartebeest can be seen at many of the
water holes in the park.
In addition, night drives, hides and walks with armed
guides are enjoyed on the private reserve. Ongava
has resident White and Black Rhino, giving guests
staying at Ongava the opportunity to see both species.
