Excellent welcoming staff, very good food, and the surprise: The singing and Dancing Staff of the Hotel for Dinner - we very much appreciated EVERYTHING - politeness, forthcoming, quality of food, etc.

We stayed for 2 nights in March 2012 and absolutely loved it! The lodge is built in the Moroccan style with water features and towers, like a real fort. The reception was amazing, we had our hands washed and enjoyed a welcome drink. The views from the main area are great, there's a busy waterhole directly in front of the...

It is a fantastic place where you will feel totally spoilt. The best sundowner in all of Namibia, magical sunset and the most attentive staff ever-our game drive host was a bit shy, but knew a lot and intrigued us about the termites-such a great story. The manager, Stephen was the top notch, he'll go far I'm sure, nothing was...

Great location, brilliant and helpful staff, but manager was the top of the cake. Always on our service and when a cook had an accident – injured a finger, he helped and prepared the meals - very inspiring approach. Game drive was the best; in one day we had a chance to see 4 of the Big 5.

My wife and I did a self drive through Namibia and When we arrived at the The Fort in Oguma we were welcomed by Bronwyn who showed us round and escorted us to our room.
A great room with lots of space and a view to die for. We wil never forget the male lions roaring at night in front...

Just returned from my annual visit to Namibia and The Fort remains my favourite lodge. The spectacular design, decor and setting capture the spirit of Namibia and bring me back; but this year's visit was exceptional. Stephan and his wife - the enthusiastic and engaging new managers - went out of their way to provide individual attention. The food and...

The Fort 'experience' was a treat from start to finish. An Afro/Moroccan/India themed lodge and rooms were simply spectacular!
On a wonderful spot overlooking a well visited waterhole was THE highlight of a trip to Namibia. The meals were wonderful, common areas were specious, the interior design was meticulous and the staff a treat. No problem (though there weren't any!)...

We loved most everything about this place: the accomodations, the food, the guides, and the tours of Etosha National Park. The common areas in the middle are terrific, and overlook a watering hole where zebras, giraffes, warthogs and various other small wild animals visit. (The warthogs also like to visit the lawn just above the pool.) The large individual units...

We recently had the great pleasure to stay at Onguma Plains – The Fort. This place is truly 5 star, and in complete keeping with what we are used to from the 5-star game lodges in South Africa. Thank you to Stefan and Bronwyn for a memorable stay!!
After a long dusty drive through Etosha National Park, we were very...

We (two couples) also were upgraded to The Fort as the Bush Camp was still under reno's. We were suitably impressed. Lovely, unique complex, restaurant, pools and beautiful large bush chalets overlooking a view unhindered by fences of Etosha plains and pan. It is truly a magnificent setting. Loved the touch of free sherry in beautiful decanters in the rooms,...

Dear HappyTravelsQld,
I am delighted to hear you and your friends had such a great time at Onguma The Fort. I have to say, sitting on the deck overlooking the waterhole with a sundowner drink in-hand, is one of my most special memories of Etosha.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience with your bill. I truly regret...
