“Wayakurua!” – In the Otjiherero language of our Namibian heartland, it means “Welcome.” At Ongava, this greeting embodies the essence of African hospitality, reimagined in a new era of luxury.

Respecting the natural environment, our lodges are crafted from indigenous materials, blending traditional bush techniques with contemporary touches. From the moment you arrive to stepping into your suite, we want you to experience the same exhilaration and awe that we feel as custodians of Ongava’s timeless wonders.

Wherever you stay at Ongava, the memories of this magical space will linger with you for a lifetime. “Wayakurua!”
