Onguma The Fort is set on this 20 000 ha nature reserve which boasts over thirty different animal species.
Onguma The Fort has an African feel like no other. Moroccan and Indian flavours combine perfectly with the selection of beautiful antique windows and doors. A courtyard and large water feature will refresh the senses. Across the courtyard is a spacious beautifully decorated lounge and open air dining room. A large wooden deck leads outside, with scattered romantic seating spaces, in full view of the waterhole.
Predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard are common residents of the area. The latest addition to the already abundant wildlife at Onguma Nature Reserve is a family of black rhinos. The Fort is unique. Massive raw walls, stunning stone clad features and a huge tower with views toward Etosha and Fisher’s Pan offers the best sunset views in the whole of Namibia.
Meals are served at either the indoor or outside dining areas allowing you too choose to dine at the lantern-lit pool, in the courtyard or alongside the water feature. Drinks are bought by waiter service from from the tower bar. The revamped wine cellar has a range of South African wines, especially selected to complement the Onguma Fort menu. Take a pre-dinner tour to taste and select your wine.

Activities
Game drives Etosha National Park

Game drives Onguma Reserve
A morning tour into Etosha could be followed by an afternoon safari around the reserve. There is plenty to see here including four of the ‘Big 5’, lion, black rhino and leopard.
Night drives
Onguma ReserveSpot-lit drives on the reserve in search of shy and nocturnal creatures are a highlight.
Bush walks
A worthwhile way to experience the peacefulness and atmosphere of the Onguma Reserves wilderness is to participate in an early morning bush walk. Your guide, an experienced armed ranger can identify footprints left by large predators and some of the big herbivores. You need to have a basic level of fitness but the emphasis is on a leisurely activity, learning about the inhabitants of the bush on the way round.
Rhino research drives
Even though this late afternoon activity is designed to reveal Onguma’s research projects and conservation efforts in Namibia, data collection and tracking black rhino is also included.

Onguma The Fort Reviews
“We stayed for three nights in Onguma the Fort in October 2014 as a treat at the end of our Namibia trip. And Onguma did not disappoint. The welcome, the Fort itself, the Service provided by well-trained and very polite and warm staff, the Food, the Restaurant terrace and the Bungalow itself provided us with a luxurious yet Close-to nature experience. We enjoyed dinner on the terrace every night with the local Lion/lioness couple or an elephant providing the extra edge at the waterhole in front of the Fort. The Food was excellent, the Service impeccable. The room was extraodinary and with its openness provided an extra kick at night with the Lion roaring while hunting around the Bungalows. The space, the cleanliness and the amenities in the rooms left nothing to wish for. We will return and highly recommend the Fort. ” –
“An oasis on the edge of Etosha, this lodge provides sumptuous surrounding in which to take in the breath-taking views of the pans. The main lodge is breathtakingly beautiful, with lots of space to relax and unwind. pools of water ease the midday heat and you can spend an entire day just absorbing the ambiance of the stunning building. the fact that animals come and go at regular intervals to the waterhole in front of the lodge is an added bonus. meals were great, sufficient and varied. rooms are fantastic and you could spend an entire day just chilling in your private space. we had NO issues with hot shows or water at all. staff in the lodge are professional; Krisitina and her team just make things happen. the fact that activities are not included was a bonus for us as you don’t feel that you are missing out if you lay in bed and just soak up the view. if you really want to RELAX; this is the place to be! ” –
“We had a great time in this magnificent lodge: a completely private room, sitting on our porch at sunrise and watching the animals at the watering hole. The afternoon safari was wonderful and we managed to see the elusive leopard. Good food, great service. “-
