Onguma Tented Camp 

An Out of Africa experience

Onguma Tented Camp offers a true African glamping experience.

Onguma Tented Camp is unfenced so there is a good chance of seeing wildlife, including elephant, kudu and giraffe from your tent. During the morning and afternoon game drives, you may be fortunate to see big cats and one of the endangered black rhinos that live in the reserve and are heavily protected by the reserve’s anti-poaching team.

Guided walking safaris are a great way to learn about the reserve’s environment and photographers love the opportunity to view wildlife at the Onkolo hide. The rim-flow pool is a great place for relaxing between game activities.

Why we love Onguma Tented Camp

  • You can lie in bed with the canvas door open, watching wildlife mingle around the waterhole

  • One of the best places to photograph wildlife is at the Onkolo hide, where you can observe animals at eye level

  • You can enjoy incredible sunsets from your deck and the sky is filled with twinkling stars on a clear evening

  • Aptly named, Onguma means 'the place you don't want to leave' in the Herero language
