Little Ongava is a luxurious thatched lodge built on the crest of a hill with wonderful views. The lodge is in the Ongava Game Reserve, a private 30 000-hectare conservation area that lies on the southern boundary of Namibia’s flagship Etosha National Park, and offers a comprehensive wildlife experience.

Little Ongava boasts both black and white rhino in its private reserve as well as a healthy predator population, particularly lions. There are only three suites here, each with a private plunge rim-flow pool that leads directly off your spacious bedroom through glass doors and looks out onto the plains below. This is the ideal lodge for couples or small families who want to reserve the entire property on an exclusive-use basis.

The waterhole in front of the lodge attracts many animals – especially in the winter dry season from about June to October – and the birdlife, even within camp, is spectacular. A professional guide accompanies you on day and night drives through the Ongava Reserve as well as in neighbouring Etosha, and you can also enjoy guided nature walks, perhaps being lucky enough to come across rhino during your hike!
