Self Drive Road Trip of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Onguma Bush Camp
Self Drive Road Trip of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Onguma Bush Camp
Monday 6th May 2019
The landscape was very dry as we traveled towards Halali
Camp in Etosha National Park. Namibia is experiencing an extreme drought at the
moment and the park looked so dry.
After a lunch stop, the landscape changed as we left Halali, it was more lush and there was more game as we approached Namutoni- especially Zebras, loads of them. We saw our first Honey Badger, digging in the soil for food. We also saw a Lioness who had just killed a Wilderbeast and was guarding her prey.

We were staying 2 night at Onguma Bush Camp in 2 standard
double rooms. We were here to relax, so the rest of the day was spent around
the pool. Then we met our guide David and went out for a Sun-downer drive with
him. David was a fabulous guide who taught us many things about the bush and
surroundings. On our drive we saw two more Honey Badgers, this time digging up
a rabbit from its burrow.

The rooms were clean, with fabulous beds and the best shower
I have ever experienced in a wilderness area. The WiFi was good.
The next day we were up early for a walk in the bush with
David, who again was a mine of information. We saw the tail of a Cheetah who
missed a kill- I think we disturbed the Buck!
The sun-downer drive was excellent again – more Honey Badgers and a Lion with her Cub.

The food and dining experience was slightly disappointing.
Especially the breakfast, as this is only served early- so we had to eat prior
to the early morning game walk and this felt rushed. As we were leaving very
early the next day we asked reception about breakfast packs, we were advised
that this was Ok and to ask at the dining room. When we did this we were
abruptly informed that we could not have a breakfast pack and would have to pay
for a packed lunch. We did go back to reception who then sorted it out for us,
but we could hear the staff in the kitchen moaning about our unreasonable
request. This was a pity as the packed breakfast was really good!
The afternoon ‘high Tea’ was a joke as it consisted of a packet of biscuits.
