Onguma Rhino Research Drive Onguma offers guests an incredible opportunity to learn more about the elusive Black Rhino. With numbers dropping and poaching in Africa increasing, a Rhino Research Drive on Onguma is a rare chance to find out more about these endangered creatures. The 3 hour drive with resident researcher, PJ, takes guests to collect data at rhino middens, download images from the camera traps situated at popular waterholes and inspect dung to find out where the animals are grazing. Due to the dense terrain, seeing these 1,600 kg (3,500 lb), animals are not a guarantee, but searching and tracking them, is all part of the experience. Rhino Research drives cost N$540 per person and can be booked prior to arrival or at the lodge.
Onguma Game Reserve – now 84 000 acres! Right on the edge of the famous Etosha National Park lies Onguma Game Reserve. With newly acquired land, the Reserve now comprises 84 000 acres (34 000 hectares) of Namibian wilderness and is home to lion, giraffe, zebra, plain’s game, leopard, hyena and the endangered Black Rhino. Five stunning lodges offer guests a host of accommodation options, catering to every need – from honeymooners, to families, from adventure seekers, to comfort lovers. A unique feature of all the lodges on the Reserve is that each camp overlooks an active waterhole, offering guests the opportunity to view some of the “big five” right from their room or at even at dinner! Being a private reserve, walking, night drives and off road driving is permitted when accompanied by a trained guide.
