Introduction
Andersson's at Ongava will be opening in April 2019 after a total refurb.
The atmosphere of Andersson's Camp makes for a comfortable modern-day base for exploring this world-class wildlife destination.
The area containing Africa's largest salt pan was 'discovered' by Sir Francis Galton and Charles Andersson in 1851, and the camp takes its name from that of the famed Swedish explorer.
Surrounded by scrub-covered plains on white calcrete soils and against the backdrop of the low Ondundozonanandana Mountains, Anderssons Camp is situated close to Etosha National Park. A former farmstead has been tastefully rebuilt and now forms the central area fronting onto a waterhole. From here twenty tented guest units radiate outwards - mostly secluded in the mopane woodland so typical of the area.
Rooms and Suites
The tents at this Etosha Luxury Camp are a clever mix of calcrete stone cladding, canvas, and wood each elevated on wooden decks.
These unusual, organic-style tents have double-door entrances and a small veranda with uninterrupted views. The en-suite bathrooms feature a uniquely designed open-air private shower.
Lodge Facilities
Energy-saving initiatives include solar-heated water for showers, while throughout the camp most of the natural vegetation has been retained.
Safari Activities
Andersson's Camp's proximity to Etosha is ideal for full-day self-drives into the Park which take in the plethora of game found here.
Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier wildlife destination, and at almost the size of Switzerland, it is certainly one of Africa's largest game parks.
Large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season, while the summer months' sporadic rainfall produces a profusion of new life - pronking baby springbok and comical young wildebeest herald the onset of summer.
Family Friendly
Andersson's Camp does welcome families and children with open arms.

The Road To Sossusvlei
Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.Cape Town To The Kunene River
In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola. A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with Namibia than ever.Windhoek Oktoberfest 2021
On the 25th and 26th of October, the Sports Klub Windhoek will host the 55th edition of the Oktoberfest. Over 5000 people are expected to attend (compared to 1000 in 2010). Adding a certain local flavour will be the Namibian band Famaz Attak, and there will be long-established activities and games like archery and tree trunk sawing.Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek
Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at the Namibian capital, Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions of Namibia as a safari destination. Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!Best Places To Go In Namibia
The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go in Namibia" which most safari itineraries would include. Namibia is different from most African safari destinations. Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction of Namibia is vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.Living With The Himba
In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland, Namibia. He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
