Onguma Trails Camp
Four bell tents in Onguma's remote wilderness with guided two-night walking safaris
Skip to product information
Set in a remote corner of Onguma's 35,480-hectare reserve, the camp occupies terrain where vehicle access ends and walking begins. Four en-suite bell tents accommodate a maximum of eight guests. Each tent holds extra-length twin or king beds, an outdoor bathroom with bucket shower heated on request, and a private wood-fired hot tub. A seating area faces the surrounding bush.
Guests arrive at Onguma Forest Camp at 13h00 on day one for transfer to the camp, followed by a light lunch and an afternoon walk or sundowner drive. The second day opens with a six-to-eight-kilometre guided walk through the reserve, tracking animals, identifying spoor, and foraging for edible plants. A bush breakfast follows before return to camp for late lunch. Dinner takes place in the boma, with stargazing after dark. Those extending to a third night join an additional morning walk through a riverbed or depart on a sunrise drive, then gather for sundowners and a three-course dinner with the conservation team. The final morning includes an early walk before breakfast and departure.
The reserve is home to four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, and rhino — plus cheetah, hyena, and more than thirty plains-game species. Walks are led by armed guides qualified in tracking and bush skills. The camp runs on solar power and uses bio-friendly toiletries. No children under sixteen are permitted. Guests must be able to walk ten kilometres comfortably.
