Spread over 125 square miles, Ongava Reserve may be vast, but it nonetheless manages to convey an intimate and personal feel through limiting the numbers of visitors who can enter the reserve and in turn offers a much more personal level of service and attention.
The reserve adjoins Etosha National Park on its southern border, so it provides a dual benefit of having its own activities with nature walks and night drives within the reserve itself, as well as close proximity to renowned and popular Etosha, which offers a variety of excursions such as guided walks, 4WD safaris to the wildlife-rich area of Okaukeujo and rhino tracking.
Wildlife experiences that you can enjoy within the reserve include tracking white rhino on foot with a guide - a unique highlight not to be missed which can be arranged from the excellent lodges. Other animals that you may see include lion, eland, Hartmann's mountain zebra, black-faced impala and a variety of other antelope species.
Accommodation within the reserve is limited to a small number of lodges. Ongava Lodge is set on the southern boundary with Etosha and overlooks a waterhole, meaning the game viewing can be impressive as thirsty animals come to congregate to this water source. The Little Ongava Camp is also a popular choice for its privacy, with just three suites and a dedicated guide for guests to ensure your nature experience in the reserve is maximised.
Little Ongava Lodge has beautifully designed cottages, indoor and outdoor showers, as well as a private plunge pool in the Onvgava Reserve.
On the southern border of Etosha National Park, the luxurious Ongava Lodge is in a small reserve and focusses on wildlife and nature.
Onagava Tented Camp is an unfenced camp located on the boundary of Erosha National Park, within the 30,000 hectare Ongava Reserve.
