What can we say? It was without doubt the best holiday either of us have ever had, and we have been on some good ones in the past. We would like to thank Paul for all his hard work, great patience and his very good advice.

Andersson's Camp




Andersson's Camp takes its name from Charles Andersson, the Swedish explorer who first 'discovered' the Etosha Pan with Sir Francis Galton in 1851. Set against the backdrop of the low Ondundozonanandana Mountains, Andersson's Camp is surrounded by scrub-covered plains and white calcrete soils.
This former farmstead has been tastefully rebuilt to modern-day standards. The old farmhouse now forms the main area of Andersson's Camp with 20 tents (16 twin-bedded and 2 family units) radiating outwards into the secluded mopane woodlands typical of the region. Tents are a clever mix of calcrete stone cladding, canvas and wood, with double-door entrances and a small veranda that is an extension of the elevated wooden decks on which the tents are constructed. The en-suite bathrooms continue the unique design. The family units comprise two tents connected by a raised boardwalk.
Ongava Game Reserve shares an unfenced boundary with the Etosha National Park and offers the exclusivity and range of activities possible in a private game reserve with the wildlife of a National Park.
Activities at Ongava include day trips into Etosha, guided nature walks and night game drives on the Ongava Reserve. The Ongava Game Reserve features all the characteristic wildlife of the area. In fact, the reserve is unique in that it is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where there is a chance of seeing both black and white rhino.
This camp is also ideal for self drive visitors to the region, offering fantastic value for money in good quality accommodation and Etosha is easily accessible if you prefer to self drive instead of taking guided trips into the park.
Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier wildlife destination. At almost the size of Switzerland it is certainly one of Africa's largest game parks. Large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season, whilst the summer months' sporadic rainfall produces a profusion of new life - with pronking baby springbok and comical young wildebeest.
Andersson's Camp is a model of eco-sensitive lodging and provides an authentic, safe and down-to-earth experience for small groups, families and independent travellers to Etosha National Park. It is also easily accessible by road.
