Onguma The Fort, Namibia
5* lodge
Onguma The Fort is one of the most popular places to stay whilst on safari in Namibia. Situated in the Onguma Private Game Reserve which is in a privileged location adjacent to the Etosha National Park, the lodge combines incredible wildlife spotting with luxurious accommodation. The views from the Onguma The Fort are exceptional and overlook the Etosha National Park and Fisher’s Pan. Everything has been given careful thought to ensure that the Onguma The Fort provides the best possible safari experience. This ranges from the sunset views to the wild and secluded nature of the suites which creates privacy.
The style of the lodge and its suites is a fusion of Middle Eastern and African, almost like a sophisticated oasis-palace in the desert. The suites at Onguma The Fort are some of the most lavish in Namibia, and the main building is iconic and truly stands out. There are 11 bush suites, one honeymoon suite and one sultan suite. Every suite is special, a romantic hideaway with plenty of space and each has watering hole and Etosha Pan views.
Guests staying at Onguma The Fort can expect to be pampered throughout their stay. The attention to detail and service levels are excellent and the staff make sure that guests immediately feel relaxed and at home upon arrival. There is also a swimming pool which is ideal for sunny afternoons and for further pampering there are massage treatments available.
Staying in such indulgent surroundings can almost overshadow the game viewing and activities available. However the activities on offer are the perfect compliment to the Onguma The Fort, there are Etosha game drives, Onguma sunset drives, interpretative bush walks and the Onkolo hide to experience all of which can be booked during a stay.
