Ongava Game Reserve

Please share this page

Ongava Game Reserve is located among the hills just south of Etosha National Park, close to Andersson’s Gate. Ongava offers visitors luxurious and comfortable accommodation in a remarkable natural setting.

What sets Ongava Game Reserve apart is the large conservation area within the reserve.

Guests can enjoy a unique and exclusive wildlife experience.

A Fresh Approach to Wildlife Interaction

Ongava Game Reserve was once unproductive farmland, but it has been rehabilitated as natural habitat. The reserve is passionate about protecting Namibia’s wildlife and natural surroundings. Its 30,000-hectare conservancy offers visitors a memorable escape into the Namibian bush.

If you linger, you will see the birdlife emerge from the bush. You may hear lions roar nearby just before sunrise as you prepare for a morning safari, or look across the plains from the lounge as game passes by.

The accommodation creates a natural connection to the surrounding landscape. Guests are encouraged to learn more about Ongava’s research projects and the work being done to understand and protect its wildlife.

A conservancy game drive can be combined with a visit to Etosha National Park. Ask us to tailor an experience to suit your idea of a bush holiday.

Ongava Game Reserve Accommodation

Each Ongava lodge has its own design and layout. The luxurious seclusion of the reserve is reflected in the setting of the lodge rooms.

Natural building materials and traditional architecture complement the surroundings, helping visitors feel at one with nature.

Guests can relax in open-plan lounges inspired by the colours and textures of the bush, enjoy a drink from the bar or sit down to a meal. Friendly staff and professional field guides take care of the details throughout your stay.

Lodges and Camps in Ongava Game Reserve

Ongava Game Reserve and Conservancy is an excellent base for visiting Etosha National Park, which borders the reserve. Guests who want to give something back will appreciate the effort made to protect the natural environment for future generations.

 Verified I had an excellent experience working with Travel2Namibia Our trip through beautiful Namibia was an unforgettable experience, and much of that was thanks to the excellent service we received. From the outset, the team provided thoughtful advice and practical guidance, helping us plan an itinerary that made the most of our time. They took care of all the bookings and supplied a detailed travel document containing everything we needed for accommodation check-ins and travel arrangements, which made the trip completely stress-free. They also recommended additional activities, such as quad biking on the dunes, which added even more excitement and memorable moments to our journey. What stood out was their attention to detail and genuine interest in ensuring we had a great experience. They even followed up after the trip to hear how everything had gone. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning a visit to Namibia and will certainly be using them again for future travels.

 Verified May in Etosha 2025 Etosha had received a lot of rain recently so the game had moved away from the wateringholes, and we did not see as much as we had hoped for. But that does not matter. It is not about a tick-box of animals. It is about the experience of the wild. It is about the great blue sky. So vast. It is about the trees. And birds. And the most incredible night sky such as you never imagined existed. And for this I am so grateful to Anschen Heyns at Travel Namibia who organized the bookings for my wife and I so wonderfully!

 Verified Thank you Travel2Namibia We can't thank Anschen Heyns enough. We were initially unable to get reservations in Okaukuejo or Halali for a once in a lifetime trip to Etosha NP. Where NWR and other agents couldn't assist, Anschen managed to secure us 2 nights in each. And in Okaukuejo, she managed to find us waterfront chalets x2. It was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives to sit under the stars, watching the various animals making their way to the waterholes. Thank you Anschen, your efficiency and service went above and beyond.
