Onguma – The Fort

The Onguma Fort is built in the perfect spot to give guests arguably one of the best sunset views in the whole of Namibia overlooking the beautiful scarceness of the Etosha Pans, bedecked with its wild animals and hundreds of camel thorn trees.

Upon arriving at The Fort, you will be received by a very friendly team of staff, and the massive raw walls, stunning stone cladded features and a huge tower with the views toward Etosha and Fisher’s Pan from within the private Onguma Game Reserve. Combining a tangibly ethnic African feel with a touch of Moroccan and Indian, plus a selection of the most beautiful antique windows and doors, the Fort’s decoration is both surreal and authentic.

Twelve mini suites, all situated adjacent to the Main Fort extending on both sides to the south and the north, each is completely private and about 50 metres apart from one another. They are equipped with a bar fridge, telephone and an air cooling system for those warmer days. The spacious bathroom has both an inside shower as well as an outside shower area. From every area of the room, wooden decks lead you towards the outside seating area and sun loungers for just relaxing and enjoying the extraordinary view.

The one and only Sultan Suite is situated inside the Main Tower of the main complex. It has a large, beautifully designed bedroom that leads into a lounge area and out onto a private viewing deck. The lounge is equipped with a satellite television system, a bar fridge and telephone facilities. And for those warm evenings, you have an air cooling system as well. The large bathroom has a wonderful open shower area, as well as a bath in which to relax and reflect upon your day’s experiences.
