WELCOME TO

Encounter by Ongava

ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK

Overview
 

Encounter by Ongava is a safari style camp tucked in a hidden valley at the foot of a dolomite hill in Ongava Game Reserve bordering Etosha National Park.

Rooms
 

The reserve consists of nine large, comfortable Meru-style tents all with en-suite facilities, open-air showers and private verandas. Fans and mosquito nets are included. There is a family unit of two tents connected by a walkway, which sleeps four. Children of all ages are welcome, but are subject to restrictions depending on age, please ask for details.

Facilities

The central thatched area includes a lounge, bar and dining room with waterhole views. There is a deck, swimming pool and firepit for relaxing and socialising. The shared area fronts onto a much-frequented waterhole, so there is a great opportunity for watching wildlife as they come to drink.

Our thoughts

" Encounter by Ongava has a relaxed warm welcome with wildlife at its heart. Views from the social areas and swimming pool to the well-visited waterhole are intimate due to their proximity.  "

" We had a fantastic trip to Namibia. Every lodge was fantastic with the most friendly people you could wish to meet. In particular the two upgrades were beyond our dreams. "

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"
