Luxury safari camp Little Ongava is perched atop a rise in the 30,000 hectare Ongava Game Reserve which borders the Etosha National Park to the north. Commanding magnificent vistas of the African savannah, Little Ongava is arguably Namibia's most exclusive and luxurious safari destination. Its proximity to the Etosha National Park makes it ideal for exploring Namibia's premier wildlife reserve.

Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier wildlife destination and one of Africa's largest game reserves. Large herds of wildlife teem around the waterholes and the endless plains offer breathtaking vistas. The Ongava Game Reserve shares a boundary with the Etosha National Park, where smaller game move between the two areas.

As part of the Wilderness Safaris Group, your stay at Little Ongava will be as all-inclusive as possible, with the core activities such as game drives, nature walks and all meals included in the price of accommodation.

With only 3 spacious, luxurious and private units, Little Ongava really does offer an intimate and exclusive experience for its guests. Each unit features its own plunge pool, a sala, and an en-suite bathroom with both indoor & outdoor showers and a bath with a magnificent view. The dining and lounge areas share the same wonderful views of the waterhole below and lend themselves to relaxed, stylish meals under thatch or African sky alike.

The Ongava Game Reserve was formed in 1991, when shareholders of Ongava converted four unproductive cattle ranches into a highly productive 30,000 hectare private game reserve that is now a haven to large concentrations of wildlife. The boundary is unfenced, allowing a host of wildlife to move between the Ongava Game Reserve and the Etosha National Park. This also region acts as a buffer to protect farms to the south from being invaded by hungry big game and predators alike.

Located In central-northern Namibia, Etosha National Park takes its name from the world famous Etosha Pan - one of the many large saltpans formed by the wind in this flat region. An evocative remnant of an ancient superlake Etosha means 'great white place' in the local language, a name befitting the blinding white salt bleached earth that stretches over 120km east to west and 55km north to south (covering 5000km2). Etosha National Park itself covers a vast area of over 20 000km2, protecting an incredible wealth and diversity of both fauna and flora.

The Etosha Pan is a parched wasteland most of the time, but occasionally a few rivers and the unpredictable heavy summer rains can fill the pan. After particularly good rains, the Etosha Pan can attract over a million flamingos to its salty waters. The salty nature of this environment does not support much vegetation, but its edges give way to a surprising variety of vegetation types: from the broad swathe of mopane that encircles the broader area; to the tall tree canopies of the tamboti and terminalia woodland in the east; and to the open acacia-strewn plains, grasslands and dwarf shrub savannah in the west.

Activities at Little Ongava revolve around day and night wildlife-viewing drives, visiting hides that overlook waterholes and walks with experienced guides. A hide at the camp waterhole provides superb photographic opportunities. The Ongava Game Reserve features all the characteristic wildlife of the area, with both desert-adapted black and white rhino to be seen as well as lion.

Game drives and daytrips into the easily accessible Okaukuejo area of Etosha National Park are rewarding, with sightings of lion, elephant, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest, and white and black rhino. Guests at Little Ongava share a dedicated guide and Land Rover, ensuring the best possible nature experience at one of Africa's great wildlife destinations.

The Ongava Game Reserve is unique in that it is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where there is a chance of seeing both black and white rhino. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed.
