Onguma Forest Lodge (formerly Onguma Etosha Aoba Lodge) is situated on the 34,000 hectare Onguma Game Reserve, adjacent to the Etosha National Park.
Originally part of the greater Etosha Game Reserve, Onguma Game Reserve is one of Namibia’s best kept secrets. Situated on the eastern side of Etosha, bordering Fisher’s pan, it has so much to offer visitors.
This is nature and leisure at it's best - where you can participate in any of the memorable activities on offer here or just relax in a pleasant bush atmosphere.
