Onguma Tented Camp is a beguiling mixture of sophistication and relaxation. In the local Herero language, Onguma means, “the place you don’t want to leave.” With a stunning main building and seven tents providing private, exclusive accommodation, Onguma Tented Camp certainly lives up to its name. Like the bush where soft air blows against sharp thorns, Onguma Tented Camp is a study in contrasts. Textures such as stone, suede, linen and steel create a setting that is sleek and modern but also inherently of the earth. Inspired by a photograph of an Oryx on Etosha’s Fisher’s Pan, the interior echoes the colors of its natural surrounds. The main complex, also overlooking the waterhole, includes a reception area, lounge and dining room as well as a rim flow swimming pool. An atmosphere of elegant dining prevails, complimented by the daily activities taking place around the watering hole, approximately 200 ft away. The surrounding nature lends itself to long, lazy afternoons spent relaxing on the sofas in the lounge, watching the animals. And when things heat up, all that is required is a gentle stroll to the rim flow pool. Sit and relax in the flowing waters while enjoying an ice-cold cooler.
