Ongava Lodge has a beautiful location overlooking a waterhole and the plains beyond in the private Ongava Game Reserve which sits along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park.
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.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
