Onguma Nature Reserve ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK, NAMIBIA
Namibia is a land of captivating contrasts and a top choice for globetrotters seeking the extraordinary. Its vastness is its greatest asset, setting the stage for unparalleled adventure. Namibia offers a serene escape, the chance to breathe and to truly immerse yourself in the destination. About the size of Switzerland, Etosha National
Park boasts salt pans, grasslands, and water holes that draw diverse wildlife. Herds of wildebeest, hartebeest, zebras and impalas graze peacefully, attracting apex predators like lions and cheetahs. During the dry season, these water sources become stages for captivating wildlife spectacles. Nestled on the eastern fringe of Etosha National
Park, the 34,000-acre Onguma Nature Reserve is known locally as ‘the place you don’t want to leave’. Among its five camps, Camp Kala shines as the epitome of luxury in untamed surroundings. Crafted by the talented team of Nicholas Plewman Architects and Fox Browne Creative, the award- winning Camp Kala invites guests to experience the wild in opulent seclusion. Perched above a popular waterhole, Camp Kala draws inspiration
from the region’s towering grey-clay termite hills. Its living spaces, adorned in shades of grey, black and white, offer contemporary elegance, enriched by unique accents like bleached animal skulls and porcupine-quill mirrors. Four expansive guest suites each feature a veranda, plunge pool, wood- fired hot tub and a sala with a king-size daybed that offers a front-row seat for game viewing during the day and nighttime stargazing. For adventurous souls, Onguma offers the
Dream Cruiser, an exclusive sleep-out experience. A renovated Land Cruiser, it features ‘downstairs’ amenities, including a flushing toilet, brass sink, and warm shower, all adorned with blue- tiled flooring and wooden-panel walls. A sturdy stepladder leads to a deck complete with four- poster bed, mosquito net, bean bags, solar lanterns, and an al fresco dining area. As the sun dips below the horizon, a ranger
guides you to a secluded spot at the edge of a waterhole where the Dream Cruiser awaits. Amid enchanting animal silhouettes, a gourmet feast unfolds, setting the stage for a captivating evening.
DON’T MISS Sleep under the stars in the Namibian wilderness, in the unique Dream Cruiser
