Situated around a popular waterhole\, Onguma Bush Camp offers its guests an enticing mixture of sophistication and relaxation. Superbly furnished tents boast comfortable beds and each have en-suite bathroom facilities. In the local Herero language\, Onguma means\, “the place you don’t want to leave.” With a stunning main building and seven tents providing private\, exclusive accommodation\, Onguma Bush Camp\, certainly lives up to its name. An atmosphere of elegant dining prevails\, complimented by the daily activities taking place around the watering hole\, approximately 60 meters away. \nActivities include game drives in open 4×4 vehicles into Etosha where animals such as lion\, elephant\, cheetah\, gemsbok\, springbok\, and hartebeest can be seen at many of the water holes in the park. In addition\, hides and walks with guides are enjoyed on the private reserve. \nFrom mid morning onwards\, there is a procession of animals at the waterholes. The high numbers of animals cause tension and fights often break out due to skittishness or dominance behavior. This offers the photographer excellent opportunities of getting images of Zebra\, wildebeest\, Oryx and spring-buck fighting. The action does not stop there\, as from mid day onwards the elephants come down to drink providing\, as always\, the most wonderful photographic subjects. \nAccommodations: Onguma Bush Camp \nDay 13 Sept 8 Depart (B)\n• Conclude your journey with a relaxing stay at Okapuka Lodge\, surrounded by open landscapes and tranquil views.\n• Opportunity for last-minute wildlife or landscape photography around the lodge grounds.\n• Transfer to Windhoek for onward travel or flights home. \n-End of Tour- \nNote: Cancellation fees apply.
