Onguma The Fort

Onguma The Fort is a unique, North African-inspired luxury lodge located adjacent to Etosha National Park in Namibia

As the flagship property of the Onguma Group, The Fort is a testament to the seamless fusion of luxury and a genuine African experience. Positioned near the eastern entrance of Etosha National Park, it offers expedited access to the park, enhancing the wildlife viewing experience. Situated on the expansive 340km² Onguma Reserve, the lodge affords guests exclusive wildlife encounters. This privileged positioning within a private reserve ensures a personalized and intimate connection with the natural world, elevating the experience from a simple stay to a profound engagement with Africa’s wilderness.

The lodge’s significance within Etosha National Park is notable. While the park is home to various lodges catering to different preferences, Onguma The Fort stands out for its architectural splendor and the unspoiled beauty of its surroundings. This combination of refined design and an authentic wilderness setting distinguishes it from other properties, even within the Onguma collection. It caters specifically to those who appreciate architectural finesse set against the backdrop of Africa’s untamed landscapes, offering a unique perspective on the traditional safari lodge experience.

Activities

A stay at Onguma The Fort promises more than relaxation – it’s an adventure waiting to unfold. The 4WD Safari, for instance, offers guests a chance to traverse Etosha’s diverse landscape and to enjoy reliable sightings of the Namibian wildlife, from lions to giraffes. However, for those looking for a more grounded experience, the walking safari is a must. Every footstep taken echoes with the tales of the land, and nature reveals itself in intimate details, be it the tiny insects or the flora that sustains the vast ecosystem.

Conservation and Sustainability

The Onguma Group, recognizing its essential role in the delicate balance of nature, introduced the Oshivelo Farming project. This initiative, started in 2012, not only provides support to the local communities but aims to rejuvenate Namibia’s agricultural endeavors. Furthermore, with wildlife conservation at its heart, the Onguma anti-poaching unit stands as a sentinel, ensuring the safety of the majestic creatures, particularly the rhinos within the reserve.
