In the middle of the bush in Etosha’s Onguma Game Reserve, you will find Onguma Bush Camp – renowned for its excellent waterhole game viewing & family-friendly safaris.
Experience
The reserve covers an area of over 34,000 hectares of savanna, bushveld & dry pan, offering over 30 different animal species. Plains game roam freely on the reserve & predators are common residents in the area.
The reserve boasts the biggest breeding colony of white-backed vultures in Namibia. During the summer, Onguma becomes a bird-watchers paradise with thousands of species migrating to wetlands created by the seasonal rains.
In the local Herero language, Onguma means, “the place you don’t want to leave.” Onguma Bush Camp certainly lives up to its name.
