OverviewFacilitiesAtmosphere

You will find Onguma Campsites inside the Onguma Game Reserve, close to the Etosha National Park. Because visitors are surrounded by bush, they can expect an authentic camping experience.

There are two main campsites: Onguma Tamboti Campsite and Onguma Leadwood Campsite. Each campground has a private bathroom with a shower, toilet, and PowerPoint. The campsites are kept clean for a comfortable camping experience.

Guests at Onguma Leadwood have access to the Onguma Bush Camp’s facilities, namely a thatched bar, swimming pool, lounge and dining area that overlooks a large waterhole. You can also arrange meals with the Onguma Bush Camp restaurant.

Campers need to bring their food because there are no shops on the premises. Campers at Onguma Tamboti have access to a small kiosk where you can buy some essentials.

The campsites have a fence, but children need supervision at all times. Children of all ages are welcome at Onguma Campsites.
