“Stylish with gourmet food”

Onguma Safari Tented Camp

Sep 19, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

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 for are the "extra" costs which are excessive considering how expensive this camp is. Make sure you are aware of how much the game drives cost before setting off.

“nice place, strange people”

Onguma Safari Tented Camp

Jun 27, 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

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 at the table or the pool. But all that aside - Onguma failed in the service for it's prizes. If you come back from safari at 5pm (all guest have been out) and ask for a cup of coffe and get to hear: we are serving coffee only between 3 and 4 and are busy in the kitchen with cooking the dinner than I have to say, thats just not good enough. Disappointing was the guide for the safari compared to others, especially Epacha Lodge and Spa. The hot waterbottle expecting us in our bed in the evening did not help to cure this rather soulless atmosphere!
