Guests can choose the style of accommodation and size of camp that suits them best. The camps are managed independently and each has its own full~time staff, guides, managers and vehicles. Both camps will have a similar activity schedule.

Ongava Tented Camp is situated more towards the center of the game reserve, at the base of the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana Range, meaning "mountain where the boy took the calves".

Each have double doors to allow for uninterrupted views of the bush and waterhole in front of camp and every tent has it's own covered verandah. The tents have been tastefully furnished each with it's own ensuite thatched bathroom with flush toilet and unique open air private shower.

The bar and dining area is built out of rock and thatch and has an intimate feel. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the open air fire place and swimming pool, both of which overlook a productive floodlit waterhole situated at eye level in front of the camp.

Ongava Tented Camp is built in a different sector of the reserve and sleeps 8 guests in comfort with en-suite facilities. The tented camp is open March through November. It also boasts a pub and dining room, both under thatch, and also has a swimming pool.

Species that can be seen year round include Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeast, Springbok, Oryx, Kudu and the Diminuative Damara Dik-Dik.

A highlight at Ongava is that it is one of the few private game reserves in Southern Africa where you have a chance of seeing both Black and White Rhino. White Rhino can be trekked on foot.

Ongava Game reserve also has a good population of Lion, Eland, Mountain Zebra, Black Faced Impala and a number of other antelope species.
