Ongava Lodge

Top choice in Etosha National Park


One of the more exclusive luxury lodges in the Etosha area, Ongava Lodge is not far south of Andersson Gate. Ongava is actually divided into two properties: the main Ongava Lodge is a collection of safari-chic chalets surrounding a small water hole, while the Ongava Tented Camp has eight East African–style canvas tents situated a bit deeper in the bush.

It's part of Ongava Game Reserve, which protects several prides of lions, a few black and white rhinos and your standard assortment of herd animals. There are also two other accommodation options in the reserve.
