High end bush feeling! Small unit wit only seven tents which are scattered over the area. Lots of privacy. Super stylish interior, deck with view on the waterhole which is frequented. You can hear the lions roaring at night since you are in the middle of the bush. The chef is the best we met in Namibia. Food was excellent.... More

The Tented Camp was the first part of our big Namibia adventure - what a start! Greeted warmly with towels, tea and cake by Julia and the team on arrival after the drive up from Windhoek, we loved the open fronted lounge and restaurant, and were very impressed by the tents themselves, which are half-canvas, half-solid. External and internal showers... More

Caveat: my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I visited this place in Easter 2009 not 2010 but couldn't seem to add older review. Having recently decided to join up to TripAdvisor and share some posts, I felt it wouldn't be write for me not to give this place a mention, simply because it was such a perfect a memorable... More

We went to Namibia on honeymoon and stayed in a number of places across the country. Onguma Tented Camp was one of our favourites. The camp is situated just outside the eastern entrance to Etosha National Park and has its own private game reserve. The tents are the height of luxury - definitely my idea of camping! The staff were... More

We just came back from a gorgeous wedding at Onguma - which was divine. After the wedding, we stayed one last night at the tented camp. It was as if, when the wedding finished, the staff decided the service was over too - despite us paying £400 for the priviledge! Making transport arrangements had to be done twice each time... More

The lodge and the tents look very nice and luxurious, but we would not reccomend a stay here. Our tent was full of insects and there is no musquito-net. The fan did not work well and was not replaced when we asked. The food is average and the drive from the entrance of the camp to the lodge takes a... More

This was a very good safari camp that offered a nice setting next to a wildlife watering hole. The room was well appointed but the back of the couch was broken so maintenance wasn't quite up to par. The food was acceptable but I wasn't too fond of the hundreds of bugs crawling on the dining table (waiter's quote: it's... More

Tented camp is located about 20 minutes drive from the main road very near the East gate of Etosha NP. Only 7 tents, excellent food and personal service make for an exclusive experience. My wife is a vegetarian and was well catered for. Not that many animals at the waterhole on the 2 nights that we stayed but that is... More
