Private Waterhole Luxury Bordering Etosha
Etosha National Park, Namibia
Set on the eastern edge of Etosha National Park within the private Onguma Reserve, Onguma Tented Camp is an exclusive safari retreat overlooking a busy waterhole. Its position allows guests to experience both the vastness of Etosha and the privacy of a private concession.
Sleek and sophisticated, the seven tented suites blend natural textures – stone, linen, suede and steel – with soft neutral tones that mirror the surrounding Etosha landscape. Each suite features a spacious ensuite bathroom and a private deck positioned for uninterrupted views.
The main guest area offers indoor and al fresco dining, a stylish lounge and a rim-flow swimming pool – the perfect place to cool off while watching wildlife approach the waterhole.
Shared guest areas are equally considered, with cool split level interiors that include a central island bar, comfortable sitting room, walk in wine cellar, interactive kitchen and a rim flow swimming pool. Every space is designed to frame the surrounding desert and encourage a slower pace of travel.

Why We Love Onguma Tented Camp
Onguma Tented Camp sits within a 35,400-hectare (approximately 87,500-acre) private concession bordering Etosha National Park. This allows for a more exclusive safari experience, with fewer vehicles and greater flexibility on game drives compared to the national park itself.
The camp’s waterhole lies just a short distance from the suites, offering a front-row seat to wildlife activity throughout the day. Elephant, plains game and prolific birdlife frequent the area, making it especially rewarding for photographers and guests who enjoy relaxed game viewing from camp.
