We had two nights here as part of our Ultimate Safaris guided tour of Namibia. The lodge is remotely located, very well appointed with fantastic deck, lounge, dining areas, pool and wildlife viewing hide of waterhole. Food was excellent, service fantastic. We really enjoyed the guided rhino walk - so amazing to be so close to a white rhino on foot. Saw elephants, rhino and lots of wildlife from the lodge deck overlooking floodlit waterhole. Our cottage was fantastic - spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ongava Lodge. We learned a lot about the animals, loved seeing them up close at the view hide, enjoyed the museum, experienced a special breakfast, and overall loved the food. It was a relaxing, peaceful place with beautiful spa experiences (our travel friends loved that part though we preferred to simply relax by the pool). We only wish it had a few more walking paths or a gym.

We had the best one night stay at Ongava lodge- we knew we were in for something special when we arrived at the entrance to find a lion sleeping having just killed an Eland . The lodge is beautiful, the view spectacular and the staff incredibly friendly - nothing was too much for them- it was my dads birthday trip and they kindly gave him a hamper full of lovely food/ snacks, alcohol and sparking wine- it was very kind of them. During dinner we had 6 Rhinos come to the waterhole and were able to watch them from the hide while they argued and fake charged each other! The food was also fantastic as was our morning bush walk. Thank you to the team for a wonderful nights stay.

We loved this experience. The property has an incredible rhino conservation program so if you want to see and learn about rhinos / this is the place! The lodge has been around a long time and blends into the environment well/ no needs for upgrades as I read - it’s all perfectly modern in the right ways. The team is amazing with incredible guides (thanks sem!!) They will take you to the park which is amazing to see - but we loved the reserve the most.

This resort is a very nice lodge in a great location,ie next to the Etosha National Park. We arrived late afternoon and left early the next morning, so didn't really time to enjoy the amenities. The welcome was very warm. The lounge and dining area were very open and lovely. The room was large and very comfortable. We would have liked to spend more time there.

Eine für ältere oder leicht gehandicapte Reisende völlig unbrauchbare Lodge. Preis-Leistung stimmt in keinem Falle mehr. Personal zwar sehr freundlich, aber kleine Sonderwünsche werden nur sehr zögerlich angenommen.1993 erbaut, war es sicher Luxus, jetzt nur noch max. Durchschnitt. Weite, aber langweilige Aussicht über das Tal. Auf den großen Terrassen keine Liegen. Erscheinungsbild auf de rHomepage deckt sich keineswegs mit der Realität.

Ongava Resort, what can we say? You were perfect in every way, from the first step into your resort to the very last, from the safaris to all the little attentions you reserved for us. The location offers an incredible view over their reserve, stretching for 30,000 hectares. The rooms are the most beautiful we have ever seen, with balconies overlooking the waterholes and showers both indoors and outdoors. The cuisine is outstanding, and Chef Leo is truly an artist. Yes, an artist. Manager Leroy and his colleague Vanessa ensure you know your program and is always available to help with anything you might need. This reserve also holds a hidden gem that is hard to find elsewhere: Salathiel. He is an incredible guide, a man of great knowledge and exceptional character. With him, you can visit the southern part of Etosha and learn about local tribes and African, specifically Namibian, culture. Salathiel is not just a guide—he has a true mission: describing the real Namibian beauty to the world. If you’re looking for a moment of relaxation, there’s a cozy spa corner with an incredible masseuse. Another remarkable feature of this property is the bunker overlooking the waterhole, where you can safely observe even the most dangerous animals up close. For us, it was the black rhino—an absolutely spine-chilling experience but completely safe, perfect for thrill-seekers. The walking safari is also worth mentioning, as well as the many lions that inhabit the reserve. Here, you can enjoy off-road safaris, but the experience in Etosha Park is equally breathtaking. Thank you, Ongava, for this unforgettable experience!

Évidemment l’endroit est magique : une réserve privée aux portes du parc d’Etosha, un lodge superbement intégré dans l’environnement, le Hide pour observer les animaux qui viennent s’abreuver au point d’eau, la traque à pieds des rhinocéros et des éléphants, tout cela est vrai et nous transporte. Mais le service n’est pas à la hauteur : des serveuses trop nombreuses qui semblent participer à une course de lenteur, une qualité de repas qui nous a vraiment laissé sur notre faim. Et que dire du fait que pour un départ en safari à 6h, nous avons dû attendre dans le noir que des personnes arrivent vers 5h40… Pour ce qui est de notre guide indiscutablement sympathique, on ressent qu’après de trop nombreuses années, la passion n’est plus là… ce qui a entre autre pour conséquences de rater deux rhinos le long de la route, et de ne pas aller au-delà du minimum attendu. La rencontre avec les rhinocéros noirs et blancs restera néanmoins gravée dans nos mémoires. Attention néanmoins à la période de visite, une fois les premières pluies arrivées (décembre / janvier), il est beaucoup plus difficile de trouver les animaux, qui de plus ne se regroupent plus aux points d’eau.
