Fly to Sossuvlei's airstrip where you are met by the guide and transfer you to the lodge. You have arrived in paradise, time to disconnect from your daily worries and take-in the most amazing desert landscapes. At night time, the sky fills up of millions of stars, and with no city lights, it provides a mesmerizing show.
Situated on the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, the lodge lies within easy reach of Sossusvlei. The kulalas have private verandas. The main guest area houses a lounge, bar and dining area.

In search of the desert elephants
In search of the desert elephants
Overlook ancient plains, with glorious views of rough-hewn Damaraland stretching in every direction. Doro Nawas blends in with the surrounding ochres and rusts, embracing the desert in hues of orange, pink, and gold. Fall asleep under one of the least polluted skies on Earth, a canopy of infinite stars.
Rugged Damaraland feels like a frontier. Tabletop outcrops, small canyons, dry riverbeds, and golden savannahs reveal the animals that live within them: desert-adapted elephants, giraffes, zebras, oryx, springbok, bat-eared foxes, and more. Discover a desert landscape surprisingly rich with life.
Back at camp, between the rocky outcrop, the 16 wood, canvas, and thatch suites at Doro Nawas open to the desert with glorious views in every direction. An inviting pool and private outdoor shower provide respite from the hot, Namibian sun. The airy verandas offer a shady resting place by day and by night, a space from which to gaze at, and fall asleep under, a blanket of a million stars.

Ongava lies on the edge of Etosha Pan, a sanctuary where the balance of nature has been restored. Here, in a vast private reserve that was once unproductive farmland, rhinos roam free, in the company of lion, elephant, leopard, and an abundance of other species.
Spanning a rocky ridge in a range of dolomite hills known as the Ondundozonanandana — the word, recalling a local legend, means “the mountain where the boy took the calves” — Ongava Lodge features 14 spacious en-suite chalets crafted from rock and thatch, in keeping with their natural surroundings. The central dining area is fronted by two viewing decks, overlooking a waterhole frequented by rhino and other game.

Game Viewing
Game Viewing
Enjoy game viewing, on foot or by vehicle, your safari guide will organize your day as per your preferences and the wildlife movements.
Immerse yourself in the heart of nature's classroom with our experienced guides who generously share their profound understanding of wildlife and the land, a knowledge passed down through generations. As a private game reserve, Ongava offers a vast area to explore, and ample opportunity to encounter a wide diversity of wildlife up close. No two game drives are ever the same, so you can expect the unexpected as your guide steers the way from savannah to woodland to the fringes of a waterhole.
Perhaps you’ll see an elephant matriarch leading her young through the bush. Perhaps a pride of lion, resting in the shade before the hunt begins. Perhaps a family of rhino, a herd of springbok, a lone jackal slinking across the scrubland.
