Onguma means "the place you do not want to leave" and it certainly lives up to it! Imagine your own boutique tented "camp" in the midst of the Namibian bush with fantastic friendly staff and the most luxurious tents you could imagine.... Onguma is set in it's own private reserve just by the gate into Etosha which makes getting in... more

Sadly we only had one night at Onguma Tented Camp. It was extremely comfortable and very well run. The tents are well laid out and carefully designed. The food was the best we found in Namibia. David and Sandra from Zimbabwe who are managing it made us very welcome. I could not recommend it more highly. more

As with most of my reviews, I had the privelege of staying at this lodge on a company educational. The main building whilst seemingly disorganised actually offers one plenty of privacy and space at the same time - especially when you consider that there are never going to be more than 24 guests. The rooms are very spacious, the bed... more

We upgraded to tented camp from the bush camp and were so glad we did. The tents are stunning, about 7 of them surrounding a small waterhole which was visited by small antelope, warthogs and porcupine's during our stay. Each tent has a huge bed complete with very luxurious bedding and throws with views over the waterhold, a huge walk-in... more

We have just spent two nights at Onguma and it was our favourite stop. The accommodation, staff, food and ambience were all perfect. We felt extremely welcome and were very well looked after. The service was superb. We would definately recommend and hope to return again soon. more

We stayed at Onguma lodge for two days as part of a longer tour of Namibia. The lodge is located near the east gate of the Etosha national park and is therefore very well placed for visiting the park each day. The accommodation consists of seven or so luxury tents surrounding a waterhole. They aren't really tents at all in... more

Booked through Carboard Box Travel website. Just outside the eastern gate to Etosha park, one of the most convenient at this end. Stayed for one night. Lovely lodge, we stayed in the en-suite rooms. Comfy bed, lovely decor, small room with good bathroom. Communal spaces in the lodge are great - good bar/lounge area with lots of big sofas and... more

Stayed for two nights, upgraded from Onguma Lodge which was rather basic. very stylish place with cooking worthy of top restaurants in Cape Town (though four courses too much!). Tents were isolated enough for a feeling of privacy with lovely claw-footed bathtubs. Did not find the manager very pleasant but you can avoid him. The one thing to watch out... more

The place was exactly as we hoped it would be for our wedding anniversary! Loved the tented camp, the design, the waterhole and the calmness and romantic feeling. But have to say that staff was very strange, including the manager: Sometimes over-powering in their duty, sometimes just not realizing that one wants not to have a long and staged conversation... more
