After a couple of hours drive one reaches Onguma Camp.The way to the camp goes via a privat concession right next to Ethosha National Park. It may bepretty nice as the concession is rich in game. 10mins later one arrives at the Lodge. Its veryluxuerious and convinient. Food is excellent, location great and next to a pond in the concessionwhere at night porcupines and shakales are gathering. The way into the park is 10mins out of the concession and then one is already in. The first 15minsinto the park is via a tared road right towards one of the 3 headquarters for registering. The firststep into the park might appear boaring as the bushland next to the road is thick and one cant seethrough. However next to the road there is usually some game feeding on the small grass patchesnext to the road. Moreover we were lucky as a black rhino crossed the road right in front of us - wewere very fortunate.Moses our guide was pretty short lipped we figured. For that kind of a price we had to pay wethought a bit of a motivated guide would have been nice. We found out from him that he had to doall shifts (morning, noon, afternoon and night-drive) for the camp. Moses told us that the campdidnt want to hire an extra guide/ get one from the neighbouring camp which is run by the samecompany. I can understand that this might be very exhausting for him. Asking the manager afterthis he sad, that this has been only for a short while as one guide was off sick. Didnt help us thereat all. Moses was in terms of spotting still very clever and smart - we saw a lot- thanks to him!The Assessment below:Assessment CriteriaSatisfaction in %CommentsPool80small but great locationTent/ Room95Restaurant atmosphere90Food 90Management & Staff 70staff 90%, management 40%Camp/ Lodge90really cool lodgeOriginality of reserve90bit crowded at times thoughDiversity of reserve90Ethosha is great with great virarityVehicle90the usual rangecruiser with roofGuide - communication70spotting 90%, communication 60% but improved ovver timeGuide - information80Guide - cust. orientation70Wildlife - quantity 80not super good for big herds but elephants in 40plus numbersWildlife - diversity100great because of the varity of habitatsWildlife - extraordinary occurrences50fesh kill, great amount of elephants with little onesclick here: BACK TO NAMIBA-START-PAGE
