Andersson’s @ Ongava

CEDARBERG RATING

Luxury

Overview

Andersson's Camp is an exciting example of sustainable construction and is named after the renowned Swedish explorer Charles Andersson, one of the first Europeans to discover Etosha National Park. The camp is in the private 30 000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve situated adjacent to Etosha, Namibia's premier wildlife destination and is certainly one of Africa's largest game parks.

Originally an old settler farmhouse, the main lodge at Andersson’s Camp has been quirkily redesigned to offer an ultra-stylish  eco-lodge. A large wraparound deck offers extensive sitting and dining areas. The sunken deck overlooks a productive waterhole that attracts variety of big game including black rhino, lion and giraffe in the dry season. In the summer months' sporadic rainfall produces a profusion of new life - with pronking baby springbok and comical young wildebeest.

A wonderful  addition is the underground hide right by the waterhole that offers great photographic opportunities at ground level as the wildlife comes to drink.

Nice accommodation
"Nice accommodation but the wrong time of the year to stay there as it was very cold in the tent. Compared to other places we stayed the staff weren’t as friendly. In hindsight would have preferred to stay on the east side of Etosha as animal sightings were low. " -
