Location and Etosha access
The campsite is within Onguma Nature Reserve on the C38, around 12 miles from Namutoni Gate on Etosha’s eastern side, so it works as a base for exploring both the reserve itself and the park through Namutoni.
Accommodation and facilities
Pitches are generous at around 350m² and include a private bathroom per site, which is unusual for a campsite. The property also has a pool, restaurant, bar, braai facilities and full-day security.
Who this property may suit
This suits campers who want more privacy and comfort than a typical shared-ablution site, including couples or small groups touring by 4×4 who still want their own bathroom.
Planning your Etosha stay
Book ahead in peak dry season (roughly June to October) when both the reserve and nearby Namutoni fill up quickly, and confirm gate opening times for Namutoni if you plan an early game drive. Fuel and supplies are worth stocking up on before heading out, since services thin out the closer you get to the park itself. See our Etosha National Park guide for more on planning gate times, self-drive routes and seasonal conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Does this campsite have private or shared bathrooms?
Private — each pitch has its own private ablution facilities, which is a step up from a typical shared-bathroom campsite.
Is this inside Etosha National Park itself?
No, it is in the neighbouring Onguma Nature Reserve bordering Etosha, close to Namutoni Gate, not inside the national park boundary.
When is the best time to visit for game viewing near Namutoni Gate?
The dry season, roughly May to October, is generally best, since animals concentrate around waterholes as surface water elsewhere dries up, making sightings more reliable close to Namutoni Gate.
