About

A nine-suite lodge on the private Ongava Game Reserve on Etosha's southern boundary, overlooking a waterhole visited by black rhino. It has a sunken, water-level photographic hide at the waterhole for eye-to-eye viewing, and houses the Ongava Research Centre, where guests can meet the scientists.
