Onguma Game Reserve is situated 10 km north of Von Lindequist Gate in the east of Etosha National Park.

Onguma Game Reserve is made up of 34,000 hectares of former farmland, which has been restored in a few short years to its natural state. Because this huge area is used exclusively by guests of Ongumas' camps, it guarantees an almost undisturbed wilderness experience.

Onguma Game Reserve offers four accommodation possibilities:

A visible expression of the successful protection of game in Onguma is the presence of the extremely endangered black rhino, which seems to feel right at home here.

Giraffe, Antelope, Wildebeest, Zebra, Warthog and also the endangered rhino are present and the water holes in front of the camps are quite active. Elephants however are only present if they decide to break down the fence between Onguma and Etosha National Park which happens from time to time. Lions are also pretty rare, so your best chance to maximize your game viewing is to drive into Etosha National Park itself.

Etosha is home to most of the big animals plus a remarkable number of antelopes and over 300 species of birds. Only the water loving buffalo and hippo are missing. From January to March, after the rainy season, the salt pans can be covered with water for a short time and pelicans and flamingos often come for a visit.

Activities such as guided game drives to Etosha National Park and sundowner drives in the private concession can be pre-booked or booked on-site and will be charged addtionally.
