Onguma Camp Kala

Elevated on wooden decks, with panoramic views over one of Onguma’s most beautiful and active waterholes is the exclusive and intimate Onguma Camp Kala.

Appealing to the sophisticated, luxury adventure traveller seeking authenticity and deep comfort, the camp is inspired by the site itself and the Etosha region. Celebrating both the environment and the culture – from the vast pale salt pans of Etosha to the landscapes of Onguma and the traditional Haikum bushmen, a nomadic hunter-gatherer people of the region – the camp is designed to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings.

The thatched camp is centred around game viewing with numerous vantage points to take it all in – be it the comfortable lounge, the intimate cocktail bar or the beautiful deck, which is sunny by day and warmed by a fire pit at night. The dining area has an open plan ‘show’ kitchen and all-day pantry to ensure everyone feels right at home. For guests who want to be active there is a gym and for those who want to relax, they can while away the hours in the comfort of the ground-level photographic hide, enjoy a treatment in the spa or practice yoga and meditation on the yoga deck.

It doesn’t get more exclusive than this. Camp Kala is comprised of only four guest suites, each with their own private butler and linked by raised wooden walkways. Although the lodge is perfect for exclusive... use for eight to ten guests, the four suites can be booked individually. Spacious and private, the open-plan suites have sumptuous twin or king-size beds with a state-of-the-art air-cooling system as well as a beautiful bathroom with bespoke double vanities, full-size free-standing bathtub and a generous shower. The comfortable seating area is equipped with a fully stocked personal bar.

Each suite has its own deck with plunge pool and wood-fired hot tub as well as a walkway to a private, shaded sala with a king-size outdoor day bed – perfectly placed for an armchair safari or a ‘sleep out’ under the stars.
