Incorporating an area of 34 000hectares, Onguma Game Reserve originally formed part of the greater Etosha Game Reserve. The reserve borders Fisher’s Pan on the eastern side of Etosha. Onguma has 3 dry riverbeds, sections of bushveld, savannah, omuramba and dry pan.
The reserve is a hub of active wildlife, with over 30 animal species and more than 300 bird species. Summer attracts thousands of migratory species to the wetlands that have been created by seasonal rains. The reserve also boasts Namibia’s largest breeding colony of white-backed vultures.
Free-roaming wildlife includes herds of plains game, and predators such as lion, leopard and hyenas. The reserve also protects a healthy black rhino population.
