Ongava Lodge
Etosha National Park

This dramatic and imposing lodge sits proudly on a hill with far reaching views over a waterhole and the bush beyond. The lodge is situated within the privately owned Ongava Game Reserve, along the southern boundary of the Etosha National Park. Ongava Lodge accommodates just 28 guests in 14 charming chalets which are sensitively built with local rock and thatch. Each chalet makes the most of the breathtaking views. The main lounge and dining areas offer a homely and stylish place to kick back and relax. There is also a ‘pool with a view’ to cool off in the heat of the day. Ongava Lodge boasts an enviable reputation for superb bush cuisine, first class hospitality and direct access to some of the finest game viewing in Namibia including both black and white rhino. The combination makes this a fist choice for those looking for a luxurious retreat with superb game viewing literally at your doorstep. Activities from the lodge include game drives into Etosha, enjoying time at the lovely camp hide and nature drives and walks on the reserve.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
