Encounter by Ongava (formerly Ongava Tented Camp) is an immersive safari camp set deep within Ongava Game Reserve, one of the largest private game reserves in Namibia. Unfenced and surrounded by Mopane woodland, this is a place where wildlife moves freely through the landscape and the experience feels alive, unscripted, and close.
This classic safari style camp is tucked in a hidden valley at the foot of a dolomite hill in Ongava Game Reserve. Encounter by Ongava offers luxury accommodation in 8 large, comfortable Meru-style en-suite tents. The main area, built of stone, canvas and thatch, fronts onto a much-frequented waterhole; watching wildlife coming to drink from here or from the swimming pool is a favourite pastime. Spacious walk-in tents offer comfort without separation from nature, allowing you to relax fully while remaining connected to the rhythm of the land. Thoughtful details ensure ease, while the sounds, movements, and encounters of the wild remain ever present.
