The Establishment
Onkoshi Camp
Namutoni0:45 from Namutoni
Nestled on the rim of the pan on a secluded peninsula, Onkoshi Camp is a low impact, environmentally friendly establishment with only 15 units (30 beds), which guarantees a truly personal and exclusive experience. The location is entirely out of view of current tourist routes, and all other developments in the area, and thus offers a pristine, tranquil and unique experience.
Guests arrive in Namutoni from where they are transported to Onkoshi Camp in NWR open Land Rover vehicles (Designed for Game Viewing). If having 4x4 vehicles, guests can drive on their own.
All rooms are built on elevated wooden decks, with thatched roofs, canvas walls and large, wooden-framed retractable doors allowing spectacular panoramic views. Rooms are tastefully equipped with locally crafted fittings and furnishings, using a blend of metal and wood combined with natural fabrics to create a natural and ethnic ambiance.
The main area, with a restaurant, lounge, bar, sunset deck and infinity swimming pool overlooking the pan, offers the ideal place to relax and enjoy the surroundings, while being pampered with excellent service and exquisite cuisine.
For the ultimate dining experience Onkoshi Camp’s scenic restaurant offers culinary indulgence with an ‘a la carte’ menu or a seasonally set menu, allowing you to take a taste of Namibia with you. Enjoy the Chef’s carefully crafted 4 course meals either inside the restaurant or out on the deck.
Setting a new standard of luxury inside National Parks, Onkoshi Camp offers superb vistas over the Etosha pan, with its shimmering mirages during the hot days; dramatic sunset and sunrise textures and colours; sense of isolation and space; clear night skies; and the sights, smells and sounds of untamed and unadulterated Africa.
