Little Ongava

Etosha National Park, Namibia

Platinum price level

Mango Opinion

Little Ongava is the most luxurious lodging option in the Etosha National Park area. Tiny and exclusive with only 3 rooms, guests enjoy loads of pampering.  

Little Ongava nestles on the crest of a hill with commanding magnificent vistas of the plains stretching for miles to the horizon. Enjoy unrivaled privacy with only three spacious suites, each with private plunge pool, en-suite bathroom with an indoor shower, double basins and bath with a view, air conditioned bedroom, tea/coffee making facilities, sitting room with own viewing deck, a private sala, and outdoor shower with views of the waterhole in front of camp. The lounge and dining areas have wonderful views of a productive waterhole below the camp, the open deck allowing for relaxed, stylish dining under the African sky. 

The Reserve is unique in that it is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where there is a chance of seeing both black and white rhino. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed. Activities at Little Ongava revolve around day and night wildlife-viewing drives, visiting hides that overlook waterholes and walks with experienced guides. The camp also includes game drives and daytrips into the easily accessible Okaukuejo area of Etosha National Park. Guests are often rewarded with sightings of lion, elephant, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest, and white and black rhino.
