Etosha Pan and its Abundant Wildlife $$$$

The Great White Place” still hosts abundant wildlife along its fringes because of the numerous springs and waterholes.  You’ll find elephant, black rhino, giraffe, zebra, springbok, gemsbok, rare black-faced impala, and of course their predators close by.  Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier wildlife destination and one of Africa's largest game reserves. Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles into the Okaukuejo area of Etosha where lion, elephant (seasonal), gemsbok, springbok, black rhino, greater kudu and red hartebeest can be seen at numerous waterholes and fringing habitats. Apex predators like leopard, cheetah and spotted hyaena also occur in this area. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed. In addition, hides and walks with guides are enjoyed on the private reserve.

There are impressive views from the main lounge, bar and dining areas, as they are situated close to the top of a hill, part of the foothills of the unpronounceable Ondundozonanandana Range.  There is also an inviting pool to cool off in the heat of the day. Meals are either served in the main dining area under thatch with a view over the camp's waterhole, or on the dining deck under the stars. Ongava Lodge was listed on the Condé Naste Traveller's Gold Reserve List for 2005. “These camps are on a private 75,000 acre game preserve adjoining the Etosha National Park.
