Extraordinary Africa>Namibia>Etosha>Anderssons at Ongava
Anderssons is a relatively modern safari camp that is a good base for exploring both the private Ongava Reserve, and taking game drives in Etosha National Park itself.
What’s Anderssons Camp really like?
Andersson’s has 9 large and striking suites, built using traditional materials of wood and local stone to blend in with their surroundings. Two of the suites are connected by a short walkway for families or two couples travelling together. All of the suites have spacious en suites with indoor and outdoor showers, air conditioning for the warmer summer nights (though hot water bottles and blankets are provided during chillier times) and verandahs overlooking the bush complete with a particularly inviting swing chair.
The main area overlooking the waterhole is the main heart of camp and here you’ll find the covered bar and dining area though meals are often taken out in the open air. There’s also an infinity pool, with a front seat view of the waterhole, for respite from the baking heat of hot summer days. For those with a keen interest in photography, there’s an excellent hide next to the waterhole, and if you’re still itching to see the action once you’re back in the comfort of your room, you can tune in to the live stream.
What can I do at Anderssons Camp?
Guests who stay at Anderssons either stay on a half board or fully inclusive rate. For those arriving on the fully inclusive rate, guided game drives in Etosha National Park in 9-seater vehicles are included. Guests on a half board rate can drive themselves into the national park or participate in activities on the reserve for an extra fee. Activities on the Ongava Reserve include walking safaris and night game drives- this area is particularly well known for rhino sightings.
Giving back at Andersson’s
Built in 2019, the Ongava Research Centre is wholly funded by Ongava and was built to provide a laboratory for research into the local flora and fauna. Guests staying at Anderssons can organise a guided tour of the centre for a fee but there’s also an informative Visitor Centre, which is free for Andersson’s guests, with a self-guided exhibition showcasing the research and science taking place in the main research centre.
