Onguma Safari Camps in Namibia recently launched Onkolo Soundscapes, a brand new activity on the reserve - and the first experience of its kind in Namibia.

Using a network of sensitive microphones discreetly and strategically positioned around Onguma’s water-level Onkolo Hide, the system captures and amplifies the living soundscape of the surrounding bushveld far beyond what the human ear alone can detect. The result is an intimate, sensory-first encounter that changes the way guests experience the African bush entirely.

The experience is particularly well suited to birders, photographers, and guests seeking something more mindful and immersive alongside their standard game drive programme.

Onkolo Soundscapes

  • Available as an add-on to the existing Onkolo Hide activity.

  • Sessions run approximately two to two and a half hours, with snacks and drinks included.

  • Guided throughout.

  • Minimum two, maximum six guests.

  • Not recommended for children under seven.

  • Pre-booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

  • For rates and reservations, contact Onguma on reservations@onguma.com
