Ongava Lodge is situated on the private 30,000 hectare Ongava Game Reserve and shares a common border with the . Etosha is Namibia's premier wildlife park and has has great concentrations of game, especially in the dry winter months, and there are wonderful views out onto the salt-pans which dominate the centre of the park.
Etosha's only drawback is that the accommodation offered within the park is in the form of large, impersonal public rest camps. Ongava Lodge offers an excellent alternative and offers the full Etosha experience while providing great accommodation and service, as well as the opportunity to take night drives and nature walks on the reserve, activities that are not allowed within Etosha.
Ongava Lodge has 14 chalets which are attractively built out of brick and thatch close to the top of a hill. All your comforts are taken care of. Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet, bath, shower and double hand basins. There is airconditioning in the rooms and overhead fans. The rooms have glass fronted doors which lead out onto a private covered verandah overlooking the bush.
Ongava Lodge's main lounge, bar and dining area is also under thatch with wonderful views across the plains and floodlit waterhole below. Outdoor dining under the stars, whilst viewing game drinking at the waterhole is something never to be forgotten.
There is also a swimming pool and a large curio shop stocking a good selection of 'African Gifts and branded safari clothing'.
Mornings are normally spent within Etosha National Park, returning to Ongava Lodge in time for a well earnt lunch. After tea, guests head out onto the private reserve to enjoy more flaura and fauna. The option of tracking White Rhino on foot is available as is night drives.
