This is definately the best place to stay if you want to be part of nature. With only 4 tents on a raised platform at the edge of a very active waterhole, you are really amongst it. 4 tents also means more staff than guests and the overall experience is excellent, with great food, great service and the most knowledgable...

One of the best lodges in Namibia, in the world! The service is the best of all, they are all so nice and will make everything for you to feel comfortable. The tree top tents are unbelievable, they are open bedrooms so you hear all the nature's sounds: GREAT SWEAT DREAMS! From your bed you can watch the animals drink... More

We stayed in Onguma in Sept 2011 as part of our trip to Namibia. We simply loved the treetop camp - the views, food, rooms and hospitality couldn't be faulted. Quite how they serve the standard of food in what feels like the middle of nowhere I just don't know! We went for an early evening trip and while we... More

I have stayed in dozens of lodges & camps in southern Africa and this one is an absolute Gem. It is basically a row of seven separate 'huts' suspended on stilts and joined by raised walkways arranged around a watering hole. The central hut is a large communal dining facility and the other six are double room accommodation with a... More

Close to the Namutoni gate of Etosha National Parc, unique location within a private game reserve and overlooking (10 m distance) one of the best frequented waterholes of the region. Defilé of hundreds of antilopes, zebras, birds during the day. Absolute private and privileged service, luxurious but authentic accommodation. A dream of a bush lodge but still down to earth....

A whole different experience to the Tented Camp which we had been to immediately preceding this stay, Treetops is the perfect place for a small group / couples escape with only 4 two-person 'bungalows' available. This just added to the sense of isolation and escapism we experienced and the very size of the place added wonderfully to the excellent very... More

When we went to this camp in August, I was a bit worried because it had been so long since there’d been a review of the lodge. Fortunately, my worry was for nothing because this was one of the highlights of our Namibia trip (truth be told, there were many highlights!) The accommodations were just what I wanted, “rustic” enough... More

This is a small, intimate lodge with only 4 chalets ensuring great service and an intimate setting. The food was fantastic, get Simon to do the Eland for you when you are there, it was just about the best meal we had in the 3 weeks we were in Namibia. The lodge is close enough to Etosha that it's only... More

This isn't your average hotel. Or even your average game lodge. With only four rooms and a maximum of eight guests you can be sure that your time at this lodge will be personal and unique, but the care that the staff go to - aligned with the excellent location and stunning rooms - turns a stay here from a...

Onguma Tree top Camp is an amazing stop in Namibia! We were in Namibia for only 4 nights and decided to spend it all at Onguma Tree Top Camp. We flew into Windhoek from South Africa, then rented a car and drove north for about 6 hours to the Namutoni Gate of Etosha. The accomodations at Tree Top were spectacular,... More
