Was at Ongava for two nights recently with my family, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting is magnificent, and the rooms extremely comfortable. We all loved the choice of showering inside or outside! The view from the terrace, where you take meals, is beautiful. I found the staff very friendly and our guide was knowledgable. In the Ongava reserve, which... More

This is a good lodge, in excellent position over (an albeit man-made) waterhole with spacious chalets. But it's not the excellent game lodge it could be. Road access is poor but the first impression delights....what it really lacks is any ambiance whatsoever. You won't get the luxury 'feel' you'll experience in similarly priced spots. Food is ok but not memorable... More

What a wonderful and priveleged way to visit a very popular National Park (Etosha) in Namibia. Ongava is a private concession which borders the southern borders of Etosha. It is managed by the highly respected Wilderness Safaris and harbors three very different accommodation choices. I stayed at the main Ongava Game Lodge (but I visited all three). The lodge was...

Views are amazing, wildlife was wonderful to watch and the guides make the trip very memorable in a positive way. However, the food is in great need of improvement to include choices and time constraints. The rooms are in need of improvements and many areas could be far cleaner with a little attention to detail. Don't get me wrong, it... More

The location of this lodge is stunning and the wildlife watching is superb (greatly enhanced by the extremely helpful and knowledgeable guides). Those are the high points - and they are not to be underestimated. But this lodge could be more. The rooms are huge, but decorated much less lovingly than those of other lodges - there is no attention... More

My brother and I stayed here for four nights and had an absolutely wonderful time! The service is first-rate and the staff -- from our guide to the waiters, chefs, and manager -- were uniformly all so wonderful and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. They bake fresh bread every day and the veggies, meats, and soups were all simply... More

Our best stay in Namibia. Highly suggested to anyone who is interested in visiting the Etosha park. Attached (literally) to one of Etosha's gates, it's our recommendation for a 3 days long visit at the park. The rooms are beautiful, with nets and AC, bath with big windows and sublime patio. The restaurant is on a beautiful terrace and the... More

We spent two nights at Ongava Lodge. When we arrived we were greeted with cool flannels, drinks and a lot of porters. The view was spectacular, to have a water hole which boasts a vast array of animals is quite something. The hide, which was free, was an amazing way to get close to black rhinos. All the staff were... More

Stayed here 3 days with my brother who lives in Namibia. The purpose of our trip was to do safaris and see all teh wildlife Etosha has to offer. Well, we weren't disappointed! We were taken on numerous safaris and our guides really did everything for us to be able to see all the big game that is out there.... More
