Ongava Lodge offers luxury accommodation in 14 en suite units made of rock and thatch.

There are impressive views from the main lounge, bar and dining areas, as they are situated up high, close to the foothills of the unpronounceable Ondundozonanandana Range.

There is also an inviting pool to cool off in the heat of the day.  Meals are either served in the main dining area under thatch with a view over the camp's waterhole, or on the dining deck under the stars.

Along with the game drives, hides and guided walks are enjoyed on the private reserve.  Ongava has resident white and black rhino - one of the few private reserves in southern Africa - allowing guests the unique opportunity to view both of these charismatic species at close quarters.  For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed.

Activities also include game drives into Etosha where lion, elephant (seasonal), gemsbok, springbok, black rhino, greater kudu and red hartebeest can be seen at numerous waterholes and fringing habitats. Apex predators like leopard, cheetah and spotted hyaena also occur in this area.
