Ongava is a private 74,100 acre (30,000 hectare) game reserve that offers the full Etosha experience as well as the opportunity to take night drives and nature walks on the reserve, activities that are not allowed within Etosha. Etosha is Namibia's premier game viewing destination. It is one of Africa's largest game parks being nearly the size of Switzerland. Large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season and provide exciting game viewing. Species that can be seen year round include elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, oryx, kudu and the damara dik-dik.
A highlight at Ongava is that it is one of the few private game reserves in Southern Africa where you have a chance of seeing both black and white rhino. The reserve also has a good population of lion, eland, mountain zebra, black-faced impala and a number of other antelope species.
