Etosha National Park, Namibia

Ongava Lodge

If you can swing Ongava it is worth it. While this lodge is much larger than its sister property, Little Ongava, it is located on a concession adjacent to the National Park so you can expect a remote wilderness experience and great guiding.  — Mango's view
