Onguma Bush Camp Gallery
Onguma Bush Camp is located within the private Onguma game reserve bordering Etosha. The entrance to Onguma is a right next to the main Namatoni gate, making it a suitable destination for self-drivers wanting to get into the National Park at the crack of dawn.
Accommodation types vary according to budgets; we stayed in the "Deluxe Waterhole Room" that offered glorious uninterrupted bushveld views (we had zebra and impala not more than 5 metres away), more than enough space, comfortable twin beds and perfectly sized bathrooms. All in all, I was delighted with my accommodation and could not have asked for more.
Dinners and breakfast were excellent during our stay, the atmosphere and views from the dining area are out over a waterhole that is frequented by good wildlife and birding sightings (not forgetting the fish and terrapins in the water).
The central guest area is spacious and offers views out over a waterhole and into the surrounding bushveld. A swimming pool area is just off to the side and is the spot for one to escape the summer heat. WiFi is available throughout the central guest area.
Can we recommend a stay at Onguma Bush Camp? Yes, and that would be a very big YES. We would suggest at least a three-night stay to experience all that the Eastern Etosha region has to offer. The perfect Etosha Lodge? We would say, not far off.

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 country 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 Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions that this country as a safari destination has to offer.
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" which most safari itineraries would include. A different destination from most African safari destinations.
Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction being 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.
He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
