Come and experience the wildness of the bush in all its splendour, partake in the sights and sounds that will stay with you for a long time. Be constantly surrounded by raw beauty inside and out.
The Fort is unlike any other, the only one of its kind in Namibia.

Upon arriving at The Fort, you will be received by not only our friendly staff, but also massive raw walls, stunning stone cladded features and a huge tower with views toward Etosha and Fisher’s Pan. The Fort will surprise you at every corner; a classical African feel combined with a touch of Moroccan and Indian flavours, characterised by a selection of the most beautiful antique windows and doors.

Onguma offers great game viewing, romance, tranquility, adventure and so much more!
