Onguma Forest Camp offers visitors the opportunity to explore both of these protected areas! 

Accommodation in true Namibian style has recently been upgraded and renovated to offer visitors 11 stylish rooms built along the dry ‘Omuramba Owambo’ riverbed.

All cabins feature bush minibars, air-conditioning, tea and coffee stations, showers and mosquito nets.

All guests meet at the communal swimming pool in the heat of the day and the thatched bar is the place to be for sundowners.
