Onguma Safari Camps in Namibia will be launching its much-anticipated Onguma Trails Camp on 1 April 2025. This intimate new glamp-camp will offer adventure seekers the opportunity to reconnect with nature over a two-night or three-night Winter walking trail, with just the right mix of thrills over frills.  

Onguma Trails Camp will redefine the outdoor experience with its blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. Accommodating a maximum of eight guests, the camp will feature 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 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 will begin with a light lunch, followed by a sundowner game drive or an afternoon walk before dinner at Trails Camp. Days will be 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 will be 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 will integrate eco-friendly practices, from bio-friendly toiletries to solar-powered lighting, ensuring minimal environmental impact whilst delivering an unforgettable guest experience.
