Jaci’s Safari Lodge
Refined Safari Style Luxury
The Safari Lodge is the camp’s main lodge and has a loft bar, dining room, pool and cosy fireplace for chillier nights.
The eight luxury tented suites here all observe the typically refined safari style of open-plan living, making use of the views from every imaginable angle. Leather upholstered headboards and chairs, wooden floors draped in hide rugs, local art, mosaic-laid baths, underfloor heating and outside showers all do their utmost to bring the outdoors in (but with your comfort always in mind too).
For families or friends there are two larger suites available: the Nare (sleeping six) and Safari (sleeping eight), both of which come with their own plunge pool, private game guide and vehicle.

Places to combine Jaci’s Safari Lodge 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.
