Breathtaking views, Afro-Moroccan style, a Namibian oasis.
Onguma The Fort is the flagship of the Onguma Nature Reserve, which borders the eastern side of Etosha National Park. Built in the style of a Moroccan fort with Indian and African touches, it has some of the finest sunset views in Namibia.
Its suites are private and spacious, and the days are for game drives on Onguma and in Etosha, walks with the reserve's guides and time in the photographic hide at the waterhole.
Each bush suite is private and secluded, with air conditioning, a bar fridge and a spacious bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers. Wooden decks with seating and sun loungers look out over the view.
What a day here can hold. We plan the activities around your stay and the rest of your route.
Explore the private Onguma reserve in open 4x4 vehicles, looking for lion, cheetah, rhino, elephant and the rare black-faced impala.
Enter Etosha through the nearby eastern gate for full days around the pan and its waterholes.
Walk with experienced guides, learning to read tracks, identify plants and understand the bush.
Sit in the underground hide at the waterhole for eye-level photographs of animals coming to drink.
Enjoy sundowners and dinners under the stars in the heart of the reserve.
Spend a night in the Dream Cruiser, a mobile sleep-out parked at a remote waterhole deep in the reserve.
The Fort is unlike any other lodge in Namibia. Its Moroccan fort style, with Indian and African influences, makes a dramatic setting, and it looks out over the plains towards the Etosha pans for some of the finest sunsets in the country.
Onguma is a registered black rhino custodian working with Namibia's Ministry of Environment and Tourism. It funds anti-poaching work and wildlife conservation, and creates jobs and opportunities for local communities.
