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.

Travellers staying at Onguma Tented Camp experience explorers Andersson and Galton’s wonder, and the beauty of a wild dawn, with animals at a waterhole just meters from a luxury tent.

Travellers staying at Onguma Tented Camp experience early explorers Andersson and Galton’s sense of wonder, and the luxury of dawn in the wilds, with animals at a waterhole just meters from the tent.

Unlike the camps that Andersson and Galton made in the area, Onguma Tented Camp offers high levels of luxury. Yet like Andersson and Galton, Onguma Tented Camp’s guests will be spurred on to adventures and dicoveries in Etosha and Onguma’s private park.

In 1851, two explorers, Francis Galton and Charles John Andersson, searching for a route to Lake Ngami, came upon a vast salt pan stretching off to the west. The local people told them it was called Etosha. As they travelled past the pan, they marvelled at the fertility of the land, and one of them, Francis Galton, allowed his mind to wander.

Today, adventurous travellers staying at Onguma Tented Camp can experience Andersson and Galton’s sense of wonder, and the ultimate luxury of greeting dawn in the wilds, with animals at a waterhole just meters from the flaps of a tent.

Unlike the camps that Andersson and Galton made in the area, Onguma Tented Camp offers high levels of comfort and luxury. Yet like Andersson and Galton, Onguma Tented Camp’s guests will be spurred on to adventures and discoveries in Etosha and the surrounds of Onguma’s 20,000 ha private park.
