Situated on the eastern boundary of Etosha National Park in Namibia lies the Onguma Nature Reserve, a private wilderness spanning 34,000 hectares. Within this reserve, elevated on wooden decks and with panoramic views over one of Onguma’s most beautiful and active waterholes is the exclusive and intimate Onguma Camp Kala.
Appealing to the sophisticated luxury travellers, seeking authenticity and deep comfort, the camp accommodates just eight guests in 4 spacious Suites. Each Suite boasts a sumptuous bedroom and comfortable lounge with a state-of-the-art air-cooling system, and a beautiful bathroom with bespoke double vanities, full-size free-standing bathtub and generous shower. With privacy in mind each Suite has its own deck with a plunge pool, wood-fired hot tub and along a short walkway, a secluded, shaded Sala with an outdoor daybed - perfectly placed for an armchair safari – or even a “sleep out” under the stars.
In the central guest area, there is a comfortable lounge, cocktail bar and an expansive deck. The dining area has an open plan, interactive ‘show’ kitchen and all-day pantry for tasty treats. A highlight at Camp Kala is undoubtedly the ground-level photographic hide which offers a different perspective of all the waterhole action. There is also a gym, spa and yoga deck.
