Horizon by Ongava
Horizon by Ongava sits on the spine of a rocky dolomite hill in the heart of the 30,000 hectare Ongava Game Reserve. Ongava borders the Etosha National Park in northern Namibia, one of Africa’s largest wildlife reserves.
Accommodation & Facilities
Horizon by Ongava has three luxurious and very private air-conditioned villas, with a large bathroom, bedroom and living area, all facing south across the plains and hills of the reserve. The rooms have a bar, a fridge, and a coffee machine, as well as their own small library. Outside each villa is a shaded sun deck with a private plunge pool. A raised wooden walkway meanders through the rocks from the villa to the beautifully designed dining room and bar, which has views to the waterhole.
Horizon by Ongava does not have a family tent and children under 16 years are required to share with an adult so parents and children need to be divided between tents accordingly. Subject to availability and upon request a third child’s bed can be added to a tent if required.
Eating & Sleeping
Chefs are very used to catering to children of all ages. If there are specific dietary requirements please request in advance to allow the kitchen to make the necessary purchases and plan the menu. Babysitting is not available so parents need to be responsible for their children at all times.
