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 Conservarea over the Onguma Game Reserve, which will hopefully include a portion of the planned owned land of the Hai//om and facilitating 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.

Designed in a fort-like style reminiscent of the deep Sahara, Onguma Fort looks out on the dry landscape of the huge Fischer Pan adjoining Eastern Etosha Pan.

The attractions are incredible: a private view of the pan and a waterhole that attracts lions, all located in the same place. There are few experiences which match the awe as lions wander past your viewing deck for a drink at the waterhole in front of Onguma Fort. 

Designed in a fort-like style reminiscent of the deep Sahara Desert, Onguma Fort looks out on the dry landscape and sparse savannah trees of the huge Fischer Pan adjoining Eastern Etosha Pan.

The attractions are incredible: a personal and private view of the pan, a waterhole that attracts lions and other animals, and luxury that leaves lasting memories, all located in the same place. There are few experiences which can match the silence and awe of the savannah as lions wander past your personal viewing deck for a sunset drink at the waterhole in front of the Onguma Fort viewing deck.

Each of the twelve tented suites has its own tower and viewing deck, and for the more adventurous, the tower suite offers incredible views. Luxury, style and fine dining are an integral part of the experience. But above all, Onguma Fort offers a true chance to be close to nature.
