Sundowner Game Drive
An absolute highlight at the Onguma Forest Camp in Namibia is a sundowner drive. About two hours before sunset we drive into the bush with an off-road vehicle. On the way to our Sundowner place at Fishers Pan our guides will talk about the miracles of nature. In the great outdoors it is not possible to say which kind of game you will see. Each tour is different and brings new experiences and surprises. With a glass of gin-tonic in hand we savour an unforgettable sundowner at Fischers Pan.
Etosha National Park Game Drives
Being directly adjacent to the Etosha National Park the Onguma Forest Camp is a perfect starting point for game viewing. The excellent infrastructure of the park invites you to venture out in your own vehicle. But if you prefer to concentrate on game viewing and photography we recommend our Etosha safari game drive. Our guide chauffeurs you through the National Park in our open off-road vehicle and enlightens you on all topics pertaining to the environment and conservation.
Interpretive Bush Walks
Embark on an immersive bush walk that draws you closer to nature, revealing the intricate details of the environment around you. This is an opportunity to experience the untamed wilderness in its raw, unspoiled form. Observe, from a careful distance, the private lives of the wild creatures that call the African bushveld their home.
Set off at 6am under the guidance of knowledgeable rangers for an engaging and enlightening 2.5-hour journey on foot. Discover the art of identifying wildlife tracks and trails, gain insights into the habits of smaller mammals, insects, and birdlife, and encounter wildlife along the way, offering a truly unforgettable walking safari experience.
Botanical Trail
There is a short nature path along the dry river bed Omuramba Owambo leading from the Lodge to a waterhole near by. We have marked all interesting trees and bushes with numbers on a 2km long route. In a detailed list you can read all about the special characteristics of these plants. If you prefer, one of our tour guides can accompany you. At the waterhole there is a small hide where you can stay a while and watch the activities - particularly in the early morning or evening.
Bird Watching
There are wonderful bird watching possibilities all around the Onguma Forest Camp. In addition to the resident bird population the various migratory birds enhance the variety. The small bird bath next to the terrace of the Lapa attracts many birds.
