Safari experiences within Ongava Game Reserve are led by knowledgeable, experienced guides whose insight enhances every outing. Shared game drives take place in open 4x4 vehicles, limited to six guests to guarantee outside seating and uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness.
You can get the best of both worlds at Encounter by Ongava by combining vehicle game drives with game walks, where you can track Rhino on foot during your Namibia safari.
The dry winter months from June to September are considered best times to visit, as the foliage has withered and animals congregate at waterholes. However, anytime is a good time as this park comes to life with the rains from January to March and many animals give birth.
Game Viewing Galore
Etosha National Park has good concentrations of Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Black Rhino and all of Namibia's plains game including Springbok, Gemsbok, and Hartebeest. Ongava Game Reserve also has White Rhino so guests can experience a wonderful variety of animals during their Namibia safari.
