Onguma Forest Camp is unfenced; no children under seven years will be allowed. Children 7 to 11 years of age sharing with adults pay children’s rate. Children 12 and above will be in a family room at the total rate. Game drives are on open safari vehicles, so children under ten years cannot join game drive vehicles for safety reasons.
