The 12 air-conditioned rock and thatch chalets each have en-suite bathroom facilities. Meals are served in the main dining area under thatch with a view over the camp’s water hole and the lodge also has a shady swimming pool.
Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles into the Okaukuejo area of Etosha where animals such as Lion, Elephant, Cheetah, Gemsbok, Springbok, and Hartebeest can be seen at many of the water holes in the park. In addition guests can enjoy the hides and guided walks with armed guides on the private reserve. Ongava has resident White and Black Rhino, giving guests staying at Ongava the opportunity to see both species.
Etosha is Namibia’s premier game viewing destination. Large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season, making for exciting wildlife viewing. Species that can be seen year round include Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Springbok, Oryx, Kudu and the diminutive Damara Dik-Dik. Birdlife is also good with Ostrich and raptors in abundance.
Local specials include the Short-Toed Rocktrush, Hartlaub’s Francolin, Rockrunner, Ruppell’s Parrot, White-tailed Shrike and Chestnut Weaver. Ongava Game Reserve is one of the few private game reserves in Southern Africa where you have a chance of seeing both Black and White Rhino. The reserve also has a good population of Lion, Eland, Hartmann’s
Mountain Zebra, Black-faced Impala and a number of other antelope species.
Ongava Lodge was listed on the Condé Naste Traveller Gold Reserve List for 2005.
