Environmental Responsibility
Onguma participates in the rhino relocation programme.

Social Responsibility
The Namutoni Hai//om Trust was established in 2008 with the express purpose of developing and benefiting the Hai//om people of the Oshivelo-Namutoni area, who are directly affected by tourism development in this remote outpost.  The main objectives of the Trust are to:

• be the appropriate legal recipient and accounting body for income and grants

• empower the Hai//om community to individually own land from which a sustainable income can be generated

• provide sustainable jobs based on Tourism and Agriculture

• assist in providing welfare, healthcare and humanitarian care and counseling to the community;

• assist in the  provision of  training and support to emerging micro-enterprises within the community;

• assist  with education relating to Family planning/housing/early childhood  development/adult education etc.

• provide some source of sustainable income to the Trust via monthly levies generated by the tourism industry.

The trust further aims to empower the community by establishing a Conservancy over the Onguma Game Reserve, which will hopefully include a portion of the planned owned land of the Hai//om It will also be used to facilitate training and ongoing support in that regard.

From 1 November 2009 a levy of N$ 10 per person per night will be applicable and is payable by each guest upon departure.
