How to get there
ROAD
This Namibia safari bush camp can be reached via a self-drive in a two-wheel drive vehicle on good roads. Namibia’s lengthy roads are an asset to an African road trip.

Take the B1 from Windhoek to Tsumeb, and continue on towards Ondangwa.
Approximately 70 km from Tsumeb, turn left onto the C38 towards the Namutoni Gate of Etosha National Park.
Approximately 500m before the park gate, there will be an Onguma sign on your right.
Turn right and drive approximately 9 km to the camp.
AIR
Onguma Game Reserve has its own private bush airstrip at which guests can arrive or depart. An additional road transfer of 20 minutes in an open safari vehicle will deliver guests to the Namibia safari lodge.
