Situated in the heart of Onguma Game Reserve, The Fort offers a unique Namibian adventure with its luxurious Moroccan- and Indian-inspired lodge. Overlooking Etosha National Park’s Fisher’s Pan, it provides an unforgettable backdrop to your wilderness experience.
A Fortress of Tranquility in the Wild
Situated on the eastern edge, with convenient access to Etosha National Park, Onguma The Fort is a distinctive presence within the expansive 34,000ha private Onguma Game Reserve. Unlike other lodges in the reserve, The Fort boasts massive raw walls, stone-cladded features, and a prominent tower offering panoramic views over the Namibian Pans.
The 12 private and air-conditioned suites, including 11 Bush Suites and 1 honeymoon Suite, are thoughtfully spaced for privacy and equipped with amenities like bar fridges and outdoor showers. The Fort surprises with a blend of classical African, Moroccan, and Indian influences, featuring antique windows and doors.
The Fort is unlike any other, the only one of its kind in Namibia. The lodge’s 12 air-conditioned suites, featuring outdoor showers, ensure a comfortable stay amid the wilderness. Onguma The Fort offers something new to discover around every corner, and has probably one of the best sunset views in Namibia.
