Where the wild meets refined elegance on Etosha’s edge

Set into the rocky foothills of the Ongava Reserve, Ongava Lodge overlooks a busy waterhole and expansive plains bordering Etosha National Park. Its elevated location provides sweeping views and front-row access to wildlife, with game often wandering right below the lodge deck.

The lodge has 14 thatched chalets, blending stone, wood, and neutral-toned luxury with a natural setting. Activities include game drives in both Ongava and Etosha, guided nature walks, rhino tracking, and photographic hides for quiet observation. Guests enjoy intimate encounters with wildlife, from lions and elephants to Ongava’s renowned population of white and black rhino.

Ongava Lodge offers the best of both worlds — the iconic wildlife of Etosha, paired with the privacy and richness of a private reserve experience.
