Overview
nguma Tented Camp is a beguiling mixture of sophistication and relaxation, of elegance and the earth. It is this intriguing combination and attention to detail that makes Onguma Tented Camp, the latest in Visions of Africa’s up-market portfolio of camps, the ultimate in safari chic.
In the local Herero language, Onguma means, “the place you don’t want to leave.”
The seven spacious tents extend the u-shaped design of the camp, allowing for both privacy and fantastic views. Styled similarly to the main lodge in the colours of the bush, each tent is designed with the same attention to detail and has a feeling of natural luxury. Each tent has an indoor and outdoor shower, a gorgeous modern interpretation of an old zinc bath, a separate toilet, two stone basins and a private sitting area.
Classic safari tents are softened by draping billowing white fabric above, creating the illusion of being in the clouds. With thick white towels, cool cotton dressing gowns, oversized European pillows, retro inspired fans, stainless steel lights, gunmetal grey and white linen, the attention to detail takes time to absorb.
An atmosphere of elegant dining prevails, complimented by the daily activities taking place around the watering hole.
The surrounding nature lends itself to long lazy afternoons, spent relaxing on the sofas in the lounge, watching the animals go. And when things heat up, all that is required is a gentle stroll to the rim flow pool. Sit and relax in the flowing waters while enjoying an ice cold cooler. Alternatively if more strenuous activity is required, then relaxing on your patio and reading a good book should provide you with all the exercise you may need.
