The Garden Route, South Africa
Private Bush Villas
For somewhat even more luxury, flexibility and wild seclusion there’s the Private Bush Villas which are ideal for families or a group of friends. Decorated to the height Afro-chic the effect is one which embraces your surroundings in all the luxury and safety, with a fenced in area around each villa in which to roam around. You have the choice of 2, 3 or 4 bedroom villas all with a fully equipped kitchen for a self-catered option. However if you don’t fancy this, the nearby 5-star Lehele Lodge restaurant can solve that, otherwise for the ultimate in service and luxury a private chef, butler and guide can be assigned to your villa.

Places to combine Private Bush Villas 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.
