Onguma Trails Camp
Onguma Trails Camp
Onguma Safari Camps in Namibia launched its much-anticipated Onguma Trails Camp on 1 April 2025. This intimate new glamp-camp offers adventure seekers the rare opportunity to reconnect with nature over 2 nights and 3 days of winter walking trails, with just the right mix of thrills over frills. The trail can also be extended to 3 nights.
Onguma Trails Camp redefines the outdoor experience with its blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. Accommodating a maximum of eight guests, the camp features just four meticulously designed glamping bell tents, each equipped with extra-length beds, sumptuous bedding and throws to ensure a restful night's sleep. There is also a private ensuite outdoor bathroom with a hot bucket shower and eco-friendly compostable loo. Guests can unwind in front of their tent or in their private wood-fired hot tub, soaking in the sights and sounds of the wilderness.
The Trails Camp experience begins with a light lunch, followed by a sundowner game drive or an afternoon walk before dinner at Trails Camp. Days are filled with expertly guided 6-8 km walking safaris, offering up-close encounters with Namibia's flora and fauna, complemented by delicious bush breakfasts, lunches, and intimate campfire dinners. Onguma is renowned for taking these experiences to the next level!
Evenings are both magical and memorable, with interactive boma dinners under the stars and presentations by reserve researchers or conservation managers, adding depth to the experience with insights into the reserve's ecology and conservation efforts. Hammocks, board games and a cosy fire pit create a relaxing atmosphere for unwinding after a day of adventure.
In line with Onguma’s conservation ethos, Onguma Trails Camp integrates eco-friendly practices, from bio-friendly toiletries to solar-powered lighting, ensuring minimal environmental impact whilst delivering an unforgettable guest experience.
The trails run on scheduled departures over the winter months between 1st April and the end of September. Rates start at NAD 26,000 (around £1,120) per person sharing, with options to extend to 3 nights and combines beautifully pre and/or post with any of the five Onguma lodges. Age restrictions apply (no under 16s), and walkers need be relatively fit and in good health to participate.
