Our Yellow Zebra Opinion

Excellent value for luxury seekers
Onguma Camp Kala, located in the Onguma Private Reserve on the eastern border of Etosha National Park, focuses on sustainability and blending into its environment. Elevated on stilts, the camp offers a truly private and exclusive feel, with only four suites overlooking a natural spring – this location will make for some fantastic game viewing. Camp Kala brings a new level of luxury to this area and is one to keep an eye on!
Activities
The camp is well placed to offer classic safari activities:
Expertly guided morning game drives
Sunset game drives
Interpretative bush walks
-
Scheduled to avoid the heat of the day, morning drives start early from camp and offer exciting opportunities to view the local wildlife. Onguma Private Reserve is home to all the Big Five – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo! Numerous smaller predators and herbivores live here too, among them cheetah, brown and spotted hyenas, silver and black-backed jackals, caracal, giraffe, blue wildebeest, zebra, eland, impala, kudu, gemsbok, springbok, steenbok, and many more!
Also led by an expert from camp, these drives are fantastic for anyone hoping to catch a glimpse of the wildlife that comes out at night, such as leopard and civet.
Walks in the reserve are highly recommended for any safarists keen to get to know the smaller lives here: the plants, insects, and birds.

The communal areas at Onguma Camp Kala are every inch as impressive as the suite accommodation.
Also raised above ground level, they are housed in a structure with a thatched roof and feature a mud-plastered conical tower built to resemble a termite mound. The main lounge is sumptuous, with its comfortable seating and well-stocked cocktail bar. Adjoining the dining area, is the open-plan kitchen and even an all-day pantry! Guests can relax on the main deck, with its amazing views and night-time firepit. There is also a ground-level photographic hide too, as well as a gym, a treatment room for massages, and a yoga deck.

Inside, each has either twin beds or a king-size bed, a sophisticated air-cooling system, and a seating area complete with fully stocked personal bar. Other amenities include mosquito nets, tea- and coffee-making facilities, in-room safe, hairdryer, and Wi-Fi. The en-suite washrooms, separated from every bedroom via a hand-stitched curtain, feature a bespoke double vanity, a generously proportioned shower, and a full-size bathtub.
