Etosha National Park, Namibia
Onguma Bush Camp
Fantastic Position over the Waterhole & Good for Families
With its position opposite a waterhole, you don’t even need to leave Onguma’s Bush Camp to see wildlife in action.
With nineteen well-equipped rooms, a large swimming pool, special family loft rooms and lots of space, the Bush Camp is a clear favourite for families without skimping on sophistication either.
Shaded pathways lead you to the communal areas, where you’ll find the open-sided dining area, bar and split-level lounge areas, all with great views over the neighbouring waterhole.
In the evenings guests relish either an African or European influenced three-course meal, served beside an open fire and under the stunning Namibian night sky.
As the only fenced camp on the Onguma Game Reserve, the camp is a popular choice for families with young children. The staff here are immensely friendly and versatile when it comes to bringing you the best the camp can offer.

Places to combine Onguma Bush Camp with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
