Ongava Lodge, Etosha

Ongava Lodge is cleverly constructed on the slopes of a small hill in the Ongava Game Reserve which lies on the southern boundary of Etosha National Park. From up here, guests can sit back and watch a host of wildlife species that come to drink at the waterhole just below – or sit quietly at the hide to see these close up. 13 chalets and one family room, attractively built out of brick, rock and thatch, have en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and glass-fronted doors leading onto a private veranda. There are impressive views of the waterhole and surrounding plains from the main lounge, bar and dining areas. Meals are either served under thatch or on the dining deck under the stars. Explore both the private Ongava Reserve and Etosha National Park. The camp has impressive views of a waterhole and surrounding plains and guests can enjoy the throngs of thirsty wildlife that congregate around the waterhole in the dry season.
